Re: The Hebert Box

Aircraft (AF305) just went on a west to east course... well south of the blow up of convection.... and now are heading SW from the west to east pass... at about 757 feet... winds are about 27mph at flight level... based on what i have seen... i don't think they can close off a center? the new convection is well to the north of where there at right now.... well seen what next HDOB data brings...
