18z (Evening) models for Hurricane #Lee right where we'd expect them to be. USAF air recon Hurricane Hunters go hunting Thursday afternoon. NOAA adds planes starting Friday. (Air recon data can improve storm forecast by as much as 20%). 6Sept23
When the satellite can barely keep up with the speed of clouds spinning around the eye...

Sample from Horseshoe Beach:
#Idalia now 'Post tropical' just meaning lost tropical characteristics. Hard to see in water vapor (yellow/blue/white colored image) & infrared (black/white/blue image). System clips Bermuda this weekend. May curve back for some rain to the Northeast US or Canada next week. 31Aug
Appears Hurricane #Franklin is decoupling from storms as wind shear negatively affects the system. Note the low level cloud spin center of image as storms bubble off to the South / Southeast (storm levels like to be nicely aligned). Out to sea in Atlantic. 31Aug2023
