Recon
Also recon is in the GOM... should be there soon! Good old recon AF306!
At 17:40:30Z (last observation), the observation was 118 miles (189 km) to the SSE (158°) from Gulfport, MS. There at about 20k ft above the GOM and already have flight level winds From 19° at 43 knots (From the NNE at ~ 49.4 mph)... thanks to that Upper level low.. Interesting that the SFMR is showing TS force winds below... 35.0 knots (~ 40.2 mph) Tropical Storm
**also take a look at this buoy.. looked like the low/vortice passed right over? see winds and pressure... and look at the 9:59 am obs.
