Re: West Coast prep?

Mike:

Those coordinates appear to be the same as those in the 136 pm EDT vortex message, which I've pasted below. Presumably, the NHC took that vortex message into consideration when issuing the 2 pm advisory (which really came out around 2, I believe). I realize it's odd that the NHC did not peg the center at the same location as the vortex message, but unless you're referring to a different vortex message, I don't think it's another re-formation.

Do you have a later vortex message, or are you referring to the one I've pasted below?
