Here is an center fix from the Hurricane Hunter plane made at 8:45 p.m. CDT tonight…
The main takeaways from the report…
Central pressure 994 mb (up a mb)
Still found a 60 kt flight level wind in the NE quadrant. That corresponds to a little more than 60 mph at the surface, actually close to 65 mph, so Fay is holding her own, if not a little stronger…
