Re: Hurricane Warnings up for the Bahamas from Irene

0730Z MON AUG 22 2011

THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER IS REQUESTING SPECIAL 6-HOURLY UPPER
AIR RELEASES BEGINNING AT 18Z TODAY (MON AUG 22) FROM THE
FOLLOWING STATIONS: KEY WEST, MIAMI, TAMPA, JACKSONVILLE,
TALLAHASSEE, SLIDELL, JACKSON, BIRMINGHAM, PEACHTREE CITY,
CHARLESTON, MOREHEAD CITY, GREENSBORO, NASHVILLE, WILMINGTON,
PITTSBURGH, BLACKSBURG, STERLING AND WALLOPS ISLAND.

THE 12Z NAM MODEL HAS STARTED ON-TIME WITH GOOD UPR AIR COVERAGE
INCLUDING 14 ALASKAN...31 CANADIAN...73 CONUS...10 MEXICAN AND 10
CARIBBEAN REPORTS...AS WELL AS ONE DROPSONDE REPORT AND 3 FLIGHT
LEVEL RECON REPORTS.

All of this is extra data from today. For input into the various weather models. I assume the 3 flight level Recon reports were the three Vortex reports. I hate to assume. Circumstantial evidence.

Great thanks to all who donated and everyone who uses the site as well. Site designed for 1920x1080+ resolution.
When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
