Re: Watching Wave East of the Caribbean

checking on the AF recon... there about over New Orleans heading back in... there appeared to be one pass and a loop back.... At 15:40:00Z (last observation), the observation was 54 miles (87 km) to the SSE (153°) from Lafayette, LA.
The Lockheed WP-3D Orion (Reg. Num. N43RF) is in the SE bahama's.... on a trainning mission**
Based on the data i have seen, i would think that TD 9 is a tropical storm... but just barley

Good news... looks like back-up recon is airborne... leaving biloxi right now AF306 just took off
**AF 306 At 16:42:30Z (last observation), the observation was 9 miles (15 km) to the E (82°) from Gulfport, MS. The mission is Tropical Depression: Number 9 (in the North Atlantic basin). **
