‼️DEVELOPING: RADAR SHOWS JET FLEW INTO A STORM CORE AT 35,000 FEET Analysis of Miami NEXRAD radar shows the Learjet 60 (N722BD) entered a thunderstorm core near Wellington at about 12:48 PM ET, just before it crashed in Palm Beach County. At 35,000 feet, radar echoes around the jet jumped to 34 dBZ, with a 52 dBZ core below it and storm tops near 47,000 feet. Tracking data shows the jet climbed about 450 feet inside the core, then went into a spiraling dive and crashed 76 seconds later. Minutes earlier, the crew told Miami Center they were in moderate turbulence and “managing the ice” at −53°F, and asked to climb out of the precipitation. Moments later they declared a Mayday, reported an overspeed, and said they were banking 60 degrees. All 9 people on board did not make it. The NTSB is investigating, and the cause has not been determined.

🌀 Isaias “Sting Jet” 🛩️ Notice the strongest winds💨 were way west of the eye wall? That’s because the storm ingested a narrow and violent jet stream from high above on the storm’s west side and that rapidly descended to the ground. The models advertised it well, but still seeing the strongest gusts dozens of miles west of the core was odd even for us meteorologists. This image is from NOAA Satellites, it called SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) It measures the roughness of the water and then translates that into wind. The purple is 80 knots, the white is 100 knots + Bottom line: every storm has its own character and impacts! #hurricane #isaias #pensacola #Florida H/T to @MatthewCappucci and the others who identified this before landfall.
