Re: Hurricane Dean Approaches Lesser Antilles

I was curious to knowif anyone may have a link, which shows the locations of where the G-IV jet conducted their air samples yesterday. This is one link that I don't have/can't seem to find. I'd be curious to see if they only sampled the High Pressure ridge and environment around Dean, or if they had an opportunity to sample some of the Upper Level Low near the Bahamas as well.

Just a couple field notes this morning of some of the weather I will be watching today (that is a little further from Dean and may/may not have any impact in the end):
-The Bahahmas Upper level low is moving westward a bit faster than it was yesterday, will be interesting to see if that continues throughout the day.
- On the NW Atlantic Water Vapor images, I referenced that the Jet stream appeared to be more Zonal yesterday. As of today, it looks like the combination of the Bahamas ULL and another ULL over Canada and to the north of the Great Lakes have worked together to build a digging trough. This trough is not spreading southward into the Tennessee Area. May or may not have any implications on the strength of the ridge...but interesting to watch today.
