Well, 50kts I believe are the strongest flight level winds I've ever seen recon report back from the NW quadrant of this storm. Most of this storm's winds has always been on the east side.

I already posted that observation a while back. Also, that's a standard observation, so there is really no point in converting to the surface. That's something normally performed on vortex messages...

75 mph at flight level which means that this storm is still strong. In will likely stay at 70 mph.

Matt we will not know the max flight level wind until we get the Vortex message. That's just what the winds where at that time.

How can this storm be so powerful with no Cdo or real convection.

Ob #6 was taken 160mi away from the center, for what it's worth.

If that's the highest winds they find they may lower intensity to 60 mph. It's an 80% reduction they are using, and perhaps even lower without much convection to bring those winds down to the surface.
