A DROPSONDE MEASURED 140-KNOT WINDS AND THIS MAY NOT EVEN BE REPRESENTATIVE AS THIS MEASUREMENT WAS NOT TAKEN FROM THE CENTRE... IN SUMMARY... GRIEL IS CLOSER TO VASSFFORCIA THAN THOUGHT... AND IS NOW A VERY DANGEROUS CATEGORY FIVE HURRICANE... THE FIRST CATEGORY FIVE HURRICANE OR CYCLONE THAT THE LIVERPOOL ENGLAND MET SERVICE HAS HAD TO WARN ON SINCE HURRICANE SANDRA IN 2139... A TROPICAL STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE COAST OF MONTAURA FROM PRUBDABLIA SOUTHWARD TO THE EDGE OF THE HURRICANE WARNING AREA. A HURRICANE WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE SOUTHERN MONTAURA COAST... CIUDAD ESTADIO DE PUERTO NUEVO ... AS WELL AS THE NORTHERN IBPORTIA COAST NEAR THE CAPE.

HURRICANE WARNINGS MEAN THAT HURRICANE-FORCE WINDS ARE EXPECTED IN THE WARNING AREA WITHIN 24 HOURS. ALL PREPARATIONS TO LIMIT DAMAGE AND LOSS OF LIFE SHOULD BE COMPLETE. WITH THE FINDINGS OF THE AFLE AIRCRAFT... THIS HAS GOTTEN MORE COMPLICATED. AS WITH ANY LARGE SYSTEM... EYEWALL REPLACEMENT CYCLES ARE POSSIBLE... ESPECIALLY WHEN THE CYCLONE HAS REACHED THE HIGHER ECHLEONS OF THE INTENSITY SCALE. THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS SET AT 140 KNOTS... CATEGORY 5... BASED ON THE DROPSONDE... WHICH ALSO MEASURED A PRESSURE OF ABOUT 907 HPA. ASSUMING THAT THIS DROPSONDE DID NOT CAPTURE THE FULL STRENGTH... IT WAS NOT TAKEN FROM THE CENTRE... THE MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE FOR THIS ADVISORY IS SET AT 903 HPA. THE INITIAL MOTION IS ALSO COMPLICATED DUE TO THE LARGE SIZE OF GRIEL. SINCE THE AIRCRAFT FOUND THE CENTRE TO THE WEST OF WHAT WAS EXPECTED... I WILL BE GOING WITH A TENTATIVE 285/17... WEST AT 17 KNOTS. GRIEL IS A VERY DANGEROUS HURRICANE WITH THE POWER TO KILL. ALREADY 30 INDIRECT DEATHS HAVE BEEN REPORTED FROM GRIEL DUE TO EVACUATIONS. GRIEL'S TROPICAL STORM-FORCE WINDS WILL START TO LASH THE WARNING AREAS WITHIN THE NEXT 12 HOURS OR SO.

MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS HAVE INCREASED TO NEAR 260 KM/H... 160 MPH... WITH HIGHER GUSTS. GRIEL IS NOW A DANGEROUS CATEGORY FIVE HURRICANE ON THE SAFFIR-SIMPSON HURRICANE SCALE... AND FURTHER STRENGTHENING IS POSSIBLE. THE SYSTEM IS MOVING WEST AT 31 KM/H OR 20 MPH... MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 903 HECTOPASCALS OR MBAR. LANDFALL IS EXPECTED... NOW WITHIN 36 HOURS. AN AIR FORCE (AFLE) RECONNAISANCE AIRCRAFT IS CURRENTLY INVESTIGATING THIS SYSTEM. MORE INFORMATION... INCLUDING A POSSIBLE INTENSITY OR LOCATION CHANGE... COULD BE MADE KNOWN IN A SPECIAL UPDATE... OR BY THE NEXT ADVISORY. GRIEL IS A LARGE SYSTEM... TROPICAL STORM-FORCE WINDS CURRENTLY EXTEND OUTWARD UP TO 610 KM... 380 MILES... FROM THE CENTRE... MAINLY TO THE WEST AND NORTH...
