Re: Tropical Depression 6 / Felix Determination... no go

Well I guess they wanted to wait to be SURE... or they want to prove the value of Recon.. I mean why bother to send a plane in to determine what is going on in the system if you can make the call from Sat obs and Quikscat? And... really, nothing like recon so ..

I'd imagine an upgrade around 2.. 2:30... official advisories maybe at 5.

Maybe they want to be sure it's a Tropical Depression and not a Tropical Storm?

We'll see but either way a headsup is basically a press release to the media to get your act together because we will probably have film at 11. News media and other weather sources..
