Greek letters don't get retired. It would be known as "ETA 2020" but the name does not get retired.
-
I assume that means you can identify a mesovort with the radar. I would assume they used their plane radar to know when/where to exit.
-
what makes flying through mesovorts even more dangerous than the eyewall itself?
-
I think the argument can be made that the data is there for a low-end cat 5 at least.
-
is an eyewall merger out of the question. Maybe the concentric band just merges with the inner eyewall and does not take over?
-
intentional or not, great call
-
LOL what a let down hahaha
-
extrapolated: 927 mb SFRM: knots
-
extrapolated: 994mb .3 degrees from the eyewall. If it is sub 900mb that is one hell of a pressure gradient
-
next update should do it if not close
-
Okay officially "in storm"
-
revising my guess same pressure as my guess before but ill up my wind guess to 200 mph (EF5 Tornado)
-
it will be there in 30 min it will beat the ERC.
-
890mb, Wind Speed High-End EF4 Tornado. (180 mph)
-
if you want min by min updates https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=meso-meso2-13-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=data
-
so they fly slower than commercial airlines it seems. Is that a correct take?
-
seems like there is a legit chance it can get a few passes in before landfall, assuming it does not turn back. for what its worth, HWRF seems to think this is a current 930mb storm with it getting down to 925mb before landfall.
-
maybe the "next" recon mission will be the one.
-
welp I guess the recon was canceled. Not updating on tidbits
-
do we know when the next recon flight is. Seems like now would be a perfect time to be getting data.
-
The structure still looks amazing. Wow! Radar velocities still around 110-125mph. only 1,800 feet up in the atmosphere.
-
how long after Katrina did the levees fail?
-
At least no sign of levee failure so far which is great news.
-
So will the eyewall be going over New Orleans. It is kind of hard to tell.
-
recon found 115 knot flight level winds.. might be enough for an upgrade.
