Re: Beatriz

Recon just completed a pass though the Eye.
Flight Level Wind (30 sec. Avg.) WSW at ~ 79.3 mph
SFMR Peak (10s Avg.) Sfc. Wind 80.5 mph
Peak (10 sec. Avg.) Flight Level Wind 85.1 mph
Minimum pressure was 991mb on one of the dropsondes.

This should upgrade Beatriz to a Category 1 Hurricane.

Data from tropicalglobe.com and USAF Hurricane Hunters.

Great thanks to all who donated and everyone who uses the site as well. Site designed for 1920x1080+ resolution.
When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
