Re: Watching Wave East of the Caribbean

It looks like the recon mission into TD9 has been called off early, for whatever reason. It is well within radar range, though, so they can track the winds that way if another plane is unable to get into the system before landfall. So far, the max winds at radar beam height have been about 50 kts from the radial veloicty data in a few spots east of the center. If those wind speeds persist, that may be enough to bump it to TS status in the absence of other evidence.
