Re: Tropical Storm Rina in Western Caribbean
|
RECON is currently flying through the western periphery of Tropical Storm Rina. Flight level, 5000ft/ 850mb winds are a bit higher than they were yesterday.
Winds on the western side of the storm are near 65 mph at the surface and Rina could be upgraded to a Category 1 Hurricane later today.
The 12z SHIPS Intensity Forecast has a 29% chance for a 25 knot increase in wind speed.
More to come...
