Re: Recon

The 60 kt intensity estimate was also a bit higher than what would be expected from the earlier flight-level winds, but I believe the earlier discussion referenced some other instruments onboard the plane estimating 60 knots at the surface. The earlier intensity may have been a slight over-estimation, at least compared to what you would expect from central pressure and flight-level winds alone.
