Re: Category 5 Hurricane Rtia Moves Westward in the Gulf

The next AF plane was supposed be in there around 06Z (2 am ET). Unless there is a NOAA plane still in there to do a center fix, it will be awhile before the next recon.

Latest SHIPS model brings the intensity to 155 kts in 12 hours, but then substantially weakens the storm down to around 115 kts before landfall.
