Since AF304's gone home, we won't have vortex data messages for a while. Going through the archives to get general motion over the 4 runs, but because the center fix was not good the last 2 runs, take this with a grain of salt:
- Between 8:19 am EDT (the only run with a good dropsone drop in the eye) and 1:01 pm EDT (the last run), motion was 282 degrees at 19.3 mph.
- Between 9:58 am (the last run without a comment about undercast making a center fix impossible) and 1:01 pm, motion was 282 degrees at 20.1 mph.
- Between 11:22 am and 1:01 pm, motion was 279 degrees at 18.9 mph.
I was beginning to think the radar was not keeping up, but the storm has slowed slightly. MIMIC seems behind too.
