Re: Ivan Fix Update

For some strange reason, recon just did the second Vortex fix in 30 minutes. There were 2 changes. They are no longer reporting a concentric eyewall (double eyewalls). Eye is now Closed with a 30nm diameter.
**Pressure change** was 925mb at 0916Z.
Has now dropped to 923mb at the 0947Z fix.
Maybe the mets can answer this one. Was the pressure drop directly related to the eyewall closing. Kinda like a vacumn leak!
