With the storm still almost a week away from any possible landfalls, there is no point in spending money. Remember, there is only a limited amount of money available for the recon flights. in a slow year where this is the first or second storm, it's quite possible they would do recon flights just to get some training work in. But in this case, with who knows how many storms possibly left to deal with, you don't want to have to go to congress for emergency funding, particularly if it means that you have a serious storm heading to the coast, and flights are delayed.
So, I'm paitent. if it's a threat by saturday, I suspect you'll see recon heading out that afternoon.
