Earl recon over the next few days
Posted by Chris in Tampa on 8/28/2010, 2:39 pm
Earl is going to get some good coverage over the next few days, from tasked recon by the hurricane center from the NOAA jet and Air Force to research missions by NOAA and NASA.

The NOAA jet should already be on its way, but I have not seen any obs yet. That plane drops sondes only and that data will be excellent for the models to get a much better handle on this storm.
