Re: what to expect....

It should be noted that nobody really knows exactly how strong the storm is right now... the winds and pressure are conservative estimates based on the satellite appearance. If the winds and pressure from the next recon flight come in signficantly different from the current values, that will not necessarily mean the storm is rapidly changing, but that the original estimates were off.

There is a NOAA plane in the air right now. I assume we will be getting some recon fixes from that in an hour or two.
