Re: Recco Obs?

It'll be interesting to see what the recon finds. I'm not sure what to expect... the pressure almost certainly dropped lower than 882 mb after the plane left, since there was no indication at that point that the deepening was leveling off. It's likely been on the rise this morning based on the somewhat degraded satellite appearance. Not only will be first central pressure reading itself be notable, but also the current trend in pressure that will be observed with the second pressure fix. It will likely be impossible to go back and estimate what the pressure actually bottomed out at, but we can always speculate based on the current pressure trends.
