Ophelia is right over the gulf stream right now. Water will not get any warmer than that for this time of year for where it is at.
-
Is Lee already losing its tropical characteristics? I didn't think this would happen until it got further north.
-
Water vapor loop. Looks like Lee has some dry air entrained, and the eye has opened up. Lee no longer a major hurricane, it is a CAT 2 with 105mph top measured winds. Pressure still around that 950-952mb mark, but it is spreading out getting larger, causing less of a pressure gradient, and winds dropping a bit. Still very dangerous.
-
A NOAA, and AF flight are both in Lee right now. We should be getting fresh data soon.
-
952 was second pass. 953 was first.
-
953mb on first pass by hurricane hunters, AF309, up a tick from last NHC report.

Does anyone have the flight data to see if the eye of Lee is open or closed? Image courtesy of Tropical Tidbits

Next new moon is on Sept 14th, so the tides will be coming down from the astronomical high by the 16th. If it is a little slower, even better in that regard.
-
I think the NWS wants to get closer in to buy the hook west. Plus with the extra weather balloons they are sending up they will get a clearer look at the upper level winds, conditions.
-
eye definitely cleared out.
-
At the far edge of the HWRF range, but it has it far out to sea at hour 126.
-
2nd pass got 957.
-
The RGB water vapor shows the ingested dry air really well, plus still has shear on the SW side.

On three passes thru the center, NOAA recon flight got 2 readings of 962 and one of 961. So any intensification is not showing up yet on the central pressure.
-
962 MB on the latest aircraft recon.

Probably just delayed reaction to getting better organized. Maybe we will see something on the 3rd pass thru the eye.
-
Better pic of the course correction.
-
-Where the green barbs are at, the flight was looping back to try to get to the center
-
The AF recon found 966 on the 2nd pass, but I think they missed the center. They were off course, tried to correct it, but still missed. Will wait for the 3rd pass.
-
Finally got a reading from the 2nd pass of the recon plane. 960, up from 958 on the first pass.
