Overview:  AV-6 Science Flight #5 is scheduled to takeoff today at 1800 EDT for a 25-hr flight into P29/91L. The disturbance is still unorganized, but it is expected by most models to consolidate and slowly intensify. The NHC gives a 20-70% chance of development into a TC in 2-5 days. 65 sondes are loaded for this flight.

 

Tentative schedule for next AV-6 flight would be takeoff Friday evening with P29/91L as the target again, although the local weather doesn’t look too promising.
