...CENTER OF MARIA APPROACHING THE NORTHERN COAST OF PUERTO RICO...
SUMMARY OF 1100 AM AST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION
Excerpt from 1100 NHC Discussion:
Maria’s center is expected to move off the northern coast of Puerto Rico
soon, and an Air Force Reserve reconnaissance aircraft is scheduled
to intercept the center early this afternoon and provide a better
estimate of how much Maria has weakened.
Since we don’t have radar imagery from San Juan, and the eye has
become cloud filled in satellite imagery, the hourly position
updates are being discontinued.
