Re: Dean

Will there be another recon into Dean before landfall in the morning? NHC has seemed very reluctant to up the winds on this monster without recon verification, and they're encountered communication problems with the recon flights on top of that (gee, you think flying an airplane into a 160+ mph hurricane is going to cause disruption in communications?)

TWC now indicating winds could be 165, and they're trying to unwind (that's the term they used) the data after the communication problems. Given the conditions... it's hard to comprehend, really, what the area is going to look like on Wednesday.
