Re: Earl

Currently NOAA has 2 aircraft sampling the atmosphere in and around Earl. The NOAA Gulfstream aircraft is performing high altitude data sampling and NOAA 43 is performing a standard RECON pattern around Earl.

A recent drop in the "Eye" reported a sea level pressure of 991mb.
Flight data reported an Extrap. Sfc. Press:983.3 mb (~ 29.04 inHg)
Earl is currently a bit under the pressure wind relationship curve as 991mb gives a maximum possible windspeed of 84 mph. This is probably due in part to Earl's rapid forward speed of West at 23 mph.
