Re: Fay reorganizing...

if i doing my calculations right.. the 993mb is about 5 miles NE of the 995mb reading from recon? Figured recon didn't sample the center that well on the first pass, and or she is dropping 2mb's an hour... will see in a little bit... looks like recon is inbound from the north. No doubt on sats and radar her inner core is tightening up... question is when does she start getting pushed to the left.

Interesting note... GPS data from drop in maximum wind band... Is on the NE side. winds at 23ft down to the surface were blowing from 105° (from the ESE) at 52 knots (60 mph)... Thats a pretty good wind run on that feeder band at around 29.4N 79.9W (about 40miles ENE of the coc) Wouldn't be susprised if they bumped Fay up with winds with the pressure drop...
