Recon flew into Jose for the first time today and found the center to be a little south of prior estimates. Additionally, winds were also stronger than satellite derived estimates, and Jose is now a 150 MPH high-end Cat 4. There were some SFMR returns suggestive of Cat 5, but they may have been contaminated. Either way, Jose is now a very powerful and compact high-end Major, with a track that puts some of the very same islands just hit by Irma at risk again. Recon vort:
