Re: 98L Continues to Organize Off East Florida Coastline

That's consistent with the recon data:
Location: 142 miles (229 km) to the E (90°) from Melbourne, FL, USA. This was near the first wind shift. But it's on the western edge of the main cloud pattern. Multiple vortice system??
Wind switched from NE to E to SE in less than 17 miles. Wind speeds from the SE direction are consistent with a NE Quadrant measurement. I.e. greater speeds.

Recon has turned north. So they are still looking for the Center. At the turn:
Optional Data...
Estimated Surface Wind: From 120° at 30 knots (From the ESE at ~ 34.5 mph)
Remarks Section...
Surface Wind Speed (likely by SFMR): 29 knots (~ 33.4mph)
