Hurricane Agnes

It's like a fake-screen play.

I remember tracking a couple that started heading out to the storm and then they turned around and headed back. The suggestion at the time was due to mechanical issues. Those poor planes get a lot of wear in tear flying through what other aircraft try to avoid or fly above!

MW (last 24 hours). You can see that course change happen.

There's something about to kick off within the week in the central Atlantic (although I know the media have been watching the stuff in the GOM)!

Ended up with a high of 81 yesterday after a low of 65 and 0.09" of rain from ~2:00 am.... and with the front, the dews finally dropped down into the low 50s by the late afternoon. Today is a different story with the temp already having hit 83 and dews in the low 60s, so you can feel the humidity a bit more. Currently clouding up and temp down to 82. I noticed that KDIX, KDOX, and TPHL are all offline at the moment.

11 am update (they went with the 978 and it's starting to do more of the turn and now running ENE) -

Low-latitude bombogenesis!!!!1111!11!!1!! IOW a NAM-bomb!

AF304's 979 from a dropsonde in the eye -

5 am update out

As of the 11 pm, Humberto has been upgraded to a CAT 1 Hurricane (it has also slowed and made that right turn to start moving NE) -

5 pm update (slowed down but now up to 70 mph, so getting close, and now going due north) -

11 am update (now, wind speed increasing, moving N, and pressure continues to drop). At some point it's supposed to get swept up and make a sharp right turn -

11 pm (9/14/19) & 5 am (9/15/19) updates (has strengthened and speeded up a bit and the thinking is that it will become a hurricane either today or tomorrow) -

5 pm update (holding pressure and sustained winds but has shifted a little to the NNW) -

If I'm looking at the right thing, seems a little pile of members are hitting the coast (or even going into the GOM) before heading back to the east!
