Re: vortex message

Oh boy, most recent recon drops pressure to 920mb, a high15deg temp diff.

Special update just stayed with Cat 4 intensity.

Well for anyone keeping track, that is 68mb in the last 32 hours: 32mb in the first 24 hours, and 36mb in the last 8 hours, or, in other words, an average drop of 4.5mb per hour for the last 8 hours.

BTW, movement is no longer due W but now N of W, doesn't appear to be a wobble, the last few sat images...look at the high. Any extended movement to the N over the next couple hours could keep it in the loop current longer, and also move landfall significantly east.
