Re: Maximum Winds

This is from the last Recon fix:
URNT12 KNHC 030528
VORTEX DATA MESSAGE
A. 03/0528Z
H. 954 MB
P. AF985 2006A FRANCES OB 35
MAX FL WIND 92 KT E QUAD 0304Z.
92KT equals 105.94 mph. And that's at Flight Level!
I'm not saying the winds aren't 120mph. It's just the data from Recon doesn't support that wind speed report.

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.
