So later tonight / early tomorrow morning, the models should have some better data to work with.
A mission from the NOAA jet looks like the image on this page:

(That plan is apparently tomorrow's, could not find today's plan)
Main: http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/hrd/data_sub/hurr.html
They sample the area around the storm, rather than in it, at a high altitude. They drop sondes so that they can measure pressure, wind, and temperature all the way down to the surface. That data gets into the models and can help the models get a better idea of steering. |
