Recon is in the storm again. Several HDOB messages estimate surface pressure down to 990mb. No vortex recon yet, but from winds, looks like they went through the flightlevel center. Not sure they got the surface center, though. Edit: Dropsonde right next to those HDOB readings got 993 surface pressure with a surface temperature of 79.9F. Storm structure: We also had a microwave overpass about 4 hours ago that shows fairly strong internal structure, but at that time, still no eye development. Edit 2: Per vortex recon, Dolly has 993mb pressure and a poorly defined elliptical eye. No temperature gradient across the eyewall (54F at altitude inside and outside). Size is 15nm x 7nm. |
