Like Harvey did last year in Houston.
The NOAA G-IV jet is conducting another synoptic surveillance
mission this morning in support of the 1200 UTC model cycle, and
these flights will continue through Tuesday.A NOAA P-3 Hurricane Hunter aircraft is also scheduled to conduct
a research mission into Florence this morning, with Air Force C-130
fix missions beginning late this afternoon.Additional upper-air data are being collected across portions of the
central and eastern U.S. via special 0600 UTC and 1800 UTC
radiosonde launches. Hopefully these data will help improve the
track and intensity forecasts.
