see attached image to go with the following..

been watching NOAA3 fly and looking at IR shortwave... i thought the plane went through the old center ((i mean above)... the surface center thats about to enter the islands... which i think was around 17N 61W (which can be seen HERE )

but then about 30 mins ago.. recon was on the sw side of the convection and went across an area at 4,385 meters (~ 14,386 feet) at around 17.47N 59.48W and the winds changed almost 180 degrees and were less then 5mph at one point... almost like they flew through a small mid level low.. in the attached image.. its where the white bars are at. notice the wind shift?

and as i write, NOAA43 just went directly through that convection we see on sats... a BUMPY ride for sure!

the RED L is the 00Z location from models

**UPDATE... Flying through that blob.. pressure around 1009mb
