Not tropical, but perhaps the closest to a tropical impact we may see this year

The record shattering streak of temps of above 60 is ended by a day with a high of (likely) 60. What a turnaround

I don't think it's hyperbole to say that all time US records for rainfall could be broken, with the slow movement, size/strength, track and of course terrain enhancement

Yep, seems to be nearing completion already based on the latest microwave

Also pressure rose on the last pass. The secondary eyewall does seem to be strengthening based on FL winds as well

I'm seeing the image

Recon descending into the storm now

Not sure we're getting that ERC anytime soon after all

Did we not work out something with Mexico with regard to potential threats? Granted, Polo likely avoids landfall, but it will pass close enough to cause problems (i.e. flooding). Not sure but it makes sense to just go ahead and do a mission for training and research purposes in a dead quiet hurricane season.

Another 90 degree day in the books at PTI!
