"A U.S. Air Force
Reconnaissance aircraft had difficulty locating the center and
reported a maximum surface wind of 44 kt in the northwest quadrant.
However, the aircraft may not have sampled the strongest winds in
the northeast quadrant. Given the aircraft data and a blend of the
Dvorak estimates, the initial intensity is lowered to 55 kt for this
advisory."
