AF309 2018A RITA OB 17 MAX FL WIND 125 KT NW QUAD 01:50:40 Z INNER EYEWALL REMNANT VERY RAGGED
Other significant changes -
- Movement 7 minutes north, 12 minutes west (resuming a WNW movement)
- Single eye now, 30 nm wide
- Inner eyewall reminant very ragged (can't tell whether it's on the north end or south end)
No real change from the 1700 track.
The vortex data runs about 3 miles SW of the Hurricane Center's plots, on every storm. Not a real problem, but I wish one or the other would define a standard and both would either use D.DD or DM.MM format.
Flipping back and forth either takes forever or else limits how many windows I can have open.
