Re: Recon

I believe this storm is healthy, well stacked vertically and modestly strengthening. The center appears to be, based on Cuban radar, just south of the island at the moment. It's hard to give a motion estimate because radar frames only run for a short period of time, so short term wobbles may appear to be taking the storm due N, but I believe the motion is more NWerly. As of right now the storm longitude wise is almost 40 miles west of Ft. Lauderdale, just something to keep in mind. Should be more clear where she's going after she gets across Cuba.

I correct myself the COC is now over land and has picked up speed to the NW at least temporarily..
