Re: vortex message

So far, the highest winds from the dropsondes at the usual flight levels that I have seen have been 160 knots at 850 mb and 144 knots at 700 mb. Both of those would typically correspond to about 130 kts at the surface. I'm not sure how NHC would reduce the 925 mb report I mentioned earlier.
