So how many miles in 0.7 lat? I don't think the inner core of strong winds will make it close enough to the buoy to see any readings like the ones of the Dauphin Island buoy last year before IVAN hit.
It's about 42 miles. 1ยบ lat = aprx 60 miles. Someone correct me if that's wrong.
OK so Emily's eye will be about 40m S of the buoy when it crosses around 85W, and it will be more than twice that distance away by the time it comes W of the buoy. Based on the most recent supplemental recon it is likely the buoy will only see at most 70kt winds, just over the threshold of hurricane force, so I am guessing you wouldn't expect to see wave heights over 30ft, maybe 35ft, and that only because it is the NE quad.
