> **Visual Context:** A "Recon Aircraft Observations" chart from NOAA3-1309A-ISAIAS shows MSLP and flight-level winds (top) and flight-level temperature and dewpoint (bottom) plotted from 10/09 15:31Z to 10/09 17:31Z, with a purple circle highlighting a feature near the end of the observation period around 17:00Z where pressure begins dropping and winds/temperatures peak. The chart supports the post's point about increasing shear threatening the storm's structure, as the flagged data indicates the storm's organizational changes are being monitored ahead of landfall.
