Wind speeds and temperatures from the NE Quadrant. From the latest dropsonde.
Just East-Northeast of Saint Eustatius Island.

I wonder if Recon will recover to San Juan or St Croix. St Croix is just west of the Center and looks like it will pass over the Island. Turn on the instruments and measure from the ground.... Nah, never mind.
