looks like recon (AF 306... same plane from this afternoon) is halfway there again...
At 04:07:00Z (last observation), the observation was 34 miles (54 km) to the SSE (154°) from Lafayette, LA.
Just in time too... i think landfall could be within the next 2-4hrs. Good chance to see how doppler radar and GPS dropsondes data come out with the winds.. are they seeing the same general thing?.... will know in a little bit!!!
I think they may bump the winds up just a hair at the 2pm. Northern part of the eyewall/band near center is starting to brush the coast NE of Galveston. 0420z
