Re: Satellite Outage

See attached level II nexrad image:

Edouard is a few hrs from making landfall... looks to me the Northern Eyewall is about 15 miles off shore of the TX/LA coast line... pressure is holding around 997mb, but the winds did come up some... recon is just off of cameron, LA... about 7miles offshore, turning and heading back inward to center. Looks like landfall at or near or just west of the border of TX/LA as a strong Tropical Storm... i don't think Edouard will make it to Hurricane strength at this moment... running out of time/water.


UPDATE... Recon went back through... pressure still holding at 997mb
Maximum Flight Level Wind: 68kts (~ 78.3mph) in the north quadrant at 7:04:10Z
N. Fix Level: 850mb

Anyone having problems getting AF302 data? it comes and goes... wonder if its an older model
