Continues to strengthen based on raw recon

In the northeast quadrant of Ida at about 5:15am CDT from NOAA hurricane hunters:
Flight Level Wind (30 sec. Avg.): 137 knots (157.7 mph)
Peak (10 sec. Avg.) Flight Level Wind: 145 knots (166.9 mph)
SFMR Peak (10s Avg.) Sfc. Wind: 131 knots (150.8 mph)
Two 150mph SFMR readings in a row, so I would say 150mph.
Please note that pressure data from the plane currently is not accurate. Extrapolated surface pressures don't make sense. All the temperature and dewpoints are suspect. Don't trust the pressures if you are watching them. I removed a center sonde that was extrapolated and a vortex message because it had invalid extrapolated surface pressure. |
