Re: RECON

Indeed it is - here is the amended flight plan of the day:

I. ATLANTIC REQUIREMENTS
1. REMNANTS OF TROPICAL DEPRESSION TWO.............ADDED
FLIGHT ONE.....ADDED FLIGHT TWO......ADDED
A. 09/1800Z A. 10/0600Z,1200Z
B. AFXXX 0302A INVEST B. AFXXX 0402A CYCLONE
C. 09/1530Z C. 10/0330Z
D. 23.0N 88.0W D. 24.0N 89.5W
E. 09/1700Z TO 09/2300Z E. 10/0430Z TO 10/1230Z
F. SFC TO 10,000 FT. F. SFC TO 10,000FT.

System still has about three different swirls, so its difficult to pin down a center - at any level. At 18Z I had it at 20.1N 83.6W, but didn't have much luck at 21Z.

For those following the so-called 'sleeper' wave, it still has good structure and an elongated area of circulation - loosely at 10.5N 52.0W at 19Z. Two areas to watch - and both have potential.
