#Recon aircraft finds #Hurricane #Melissa weaker than expected, with surface winds extrapolated to be 105kt.
What's the cause?
Improper mixing in the eyewall of higher wind speeds at the ~920mb layer down to the surface. Until these winds mix down, we won't see the winds climb. pic.twitter.com/BmK04gu2mU
