REMARKS:
TASKED TO FLY THE 2330Z FIX FOR TS DANNY IN THE ATLANTIC. THIS STORM 
IS IN THE PROCESS OF FALLING APART AND CURRENTLY HAS AN EXPOSED 
CENTER OF CIRCULATION WITH CONVECTION SHEARED 60-90 NM NE OF THE 
CENTER FIX. WE RECEIVED A REPORT IN FLIGHT THAT NOAA 43 HAD COMPLETED 
THEIR MISSION EARLY AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND A CIRCULATION CENTER AT 
FL080. BASED ON THIS INFORMATION, I DECIDED TO APPROACH THE STORM 
FROM FL025 INSTEAD OF INITIALLY PLANNED FL050.

WE BEGAN THE FLIGHT IN THE NW QUAD AND PROCEEDED TO SE, NE, SW, S, 
THEN N. AS WE REACHED THE ENTRY POINT FOR THE NE QUAD WE ENCOUNTERED 
THE HEAVIEST CONVECTION RESULTING IN OUR NEED TO INCREASE OUR FL TO 
050 AND PICK THROUGH SOME OF THE CELLS. ONCE WE TURNED INBOUND, WE 
DESCENDED BACK DOWN TO FL025. 

OVERALL THE STORM IS CONTINUEING TO DECOUPLE BETWEEN THE MID AND 
LOWER LEVELS. WE OBSERVED THE DRY AIR IN THE MID LEVELS VIA OUR 
SYSTEM CHECK SONDE THAT WAS DROPPED ON THE WAY IN AND WE OBSERVED THE 
WIND SHEAR CONTINUING TO PUSH COVECTION FURTHER FROM THE CENTER OF 
CIRCULATION.
