Re: Hurricane Dolly Approaches Brownsville

Down to 972mb with a closed 20nm circular eye.

Surface winds to 79mph (69kts).

Per vortex recon half hour ago.

Edit:

Inbound dropsonde got 82kt surface winds (and 103kt not that far up). Wonder why they picked 69kt for the vortex recon?

We should have another vortex recon in the next 20 minutes.
