The latest supplemental vortex message notes 152 kt FL winds in the SW quadrant. It also indicates that the outer wind maximum which has been observed for awhile has intensified and moved closer to the center, which goes along with what Clark mentioned about the imminent ERC. Reposted from the old thread: They did what was listed as eyewall dropsonde in the NE eyewall which showed some unusual data... surface pressure measured by the dropsonde was 898 mb (only slightly lower than the listed central pressure, which would be unusual for the eyewall). The mean boundary layer winds were listed as being out of the N at 81 knots, the 850mb winds were listed as being out of the N at 88 kts, while the 700mb winds were listed as being out of the E at 41 knots. I'm not sure what to make of all that. The eye dropsonde that measured 892mb also measured 29 knot winds at the surface. Typically, that would indicate that the actual central pressure is 2-3 mb lower, but this isn't a typical storm, so who knows. |
