No. They have had plenty of flights into this storm of all different types. Lots of normal Air Force (now doing fixes rapidly every 3 hours), Air Force doing a buoy drop mission (AXBTs to get water temps perhaps among other things), NOAA research, and quite a few NOAA high altitude G-IV missions to sample the environment around the storm. They were doing some NOAA routine maintenance I believe on a P-3 after it got back to Tampa from Barbados, but they might not have done any missions at the time anyway. (I think I heard about that P-3 maintenance on a local TV station from someone that had just flown aboard the G-IV) NOAA is the ones that would have had some funding cut. I'm not sure what the state of that is.
But, you can read the blog here on all that they are doing:

They are covering this well.
Sometimes the models just see two different possible scenarios, or something in between. It could go either way, and then they finally gravitate toward what is more likely. |
