yes the 2 am came out...
the likes to try and verify an older forecast, it is the way it works...
and they don't like to jump on temporary jogs...they are very cautious which is good
but there is very little southern component
the plane should be there by now.. and advisories are not written in real time... they are written before, set up, released..its a process
will see what the 5 am brings.. going to bed, enjoy reading your discussion, everyone's thoughts at this late hour but rarely do you see a storm here
wondering here if...
he is slowing down, any slow down in forward movement might be more impt than a few bobbles s or n as it may mean there is a weakness in the high... if he keeps barreling west than not..
and wondering if he is really a bit stronger waiting for recon.. id think he's more like 140 but whats 5 mph..
what an eye... easy enough to follow
amazing storm
nite, thanks

Not sure I entirely agree with you but the recon plane is in the storm now so we should get some good info.

Looks like they were in the Eye at 21.133N 71.600W. Extrapolated surface pressure 944.8 mb. Winds calm.
Thats a reduction of 3mb since 2am advisory.

Just got a vortex, 947mb right over the southern edge of the Caicos reef, SW of Cockburn town.
Highest winds I've seen so far have been right around 100kts, but it doesn't look like they've got the strongest winds in the windfield sampled yet..... (watching Mission 07 here)
That would support Cat 3 intensity from the pressure.

The vortex data message says: 947 hPa; 118 kt max. flight level wind; circular, closed eye
So it´s in a steady state with a movement nearly straight to the west.

I'm surprised thats the lowest pressure and strongest winds they could find. Ike looks very impressive on satellite! Very large eye.

Latest modell runs (should have ingested some of the recon data!?): All dynamical modells (the ´s, HWRF, , except the ), show the nothward component to the westward motion to begin sooner, so that Ike stays more to the northern side of Cuba. The sends Ike to the southern side. In the later forecast periond in the central gulf all modells (exept the , which send Ike straight NW to New Orleans) turn the storm from NW back to the WNW and send the storm to Texas. So Florida (except the Keys) is a bit out of the focus for the moment.
Is there a good source for the -runs?
edit: Found a good source for the with interesting comparison to : ECMWF
So the follows the general trend and sends the storm to texas.
Newest Center Fix: Nothing new. Data show a strong cat. 3 with 946 hPa central pressure. Movement straight west between the last two center fixes.

Actually the 11:00 advisory had him at 21.2 north and the 2:00 advisory has him at 21.3 north that is actually slightly north of west
