Re: Looking Around the Basin

Apparently the combination of the model runs and boredom has raised the eyebrows at TPC/ NHC.
RECON is tasked with an INVEST for tomorrow.

Latest SHIPS model has backed down a bit on the Max winds at 120 hours. Now down to 78kts... still a Hurricane.

93L now being run on SHIPS. Looks to be a lot higher in latitude than 92L.
Current 92L position is 11.6N/ 48.1W
93L forecast for nearly the same longitude is at 96hours. 15.6N/ 47.5W. That would make in roughly 4 degrees or 240nm north of 92L's location.

Early SHIPS on 93L look like a Fish Spinner!
