Just an fyi on the position in the minobs... unlike all of the other observations, they are done in a degree minute format vice decimal degrees

For example
1315N 06533

is 13.3N 65.5W in the decimal format that everything else uses...

My father was a navigator on P-3s (The Navy subhunting version that NOAA's WP-3 is derived from) ... it used to bug the snot out of him when I would give the positions the way the NHC does in their advisories... he insisted on me converting it to degrees and minutes...

Remember, the RFQ is the strongest quad. And in this case, its the NW-N eyewall.

So 925 is 90, 850 is 80, and 700 is 90?
