Re: Cindy Winds should go way up at intermediate adv.

2pm out on Cindy (Getting stronger)

"A ship just northeast of the center reported winds near 70 mph...but quality control analysis indicates that these winds are likely a little too high. Nevertheless...Cindy appears to have strengthened a little more and maximum sustained winds are estimated to be near 60 mph...with higher gusts. A NOAA hurricane hunter plane is nearing Cindy and should give more definitive intensity information. Some additional increase in strength is possible before landfall."
