Re: Development in Central Caribbean Likely Today

looking at the dropsonde data that was dropped at 15.7N 69.2W... there is some "drier" air on the east side of the system.. which is clearly visible in some sats. To me it appears to be wrapping around to the north? in the a data.. there were flying at 5kft

Significant Temperature And Relative Humidity Levels...
Level....................................Air Temperature............................... Dew Point
1008mb (Surface)................27.4°C (81.3°F)............................. 23.5°C (74.3°F)
949mb...................................22.4°C (72.3°F)...............................21.4°C (70.5°F)
889mb....................................19.6°C (67.3°F)...............................16.2°C (61.2°F)
850mb....................................16.8°C (62.2°F)................................15.5°C (59.9°F)
843mb.....................................16.0°C (60.8°F)...............................15.0°C (59.0°F)

hmm.... recon is up to 12,500ft heading west off the coast of southern Haiti... not sure if there will be another pass... i figured they base in St. Croix tonight.... but not looking like that.... unless there going over the convection there in? UPDATE: looks like recon is buggin out and headin home to Homestead AFB. (they are over Haiti at 17kft)
