If I'm reading that right, that's the plan for the 4th and 5th? I think there's a flight scheduled for today per today's plan (text issued yesterday) and the 11am disco.

I updated the link, for whatever reason today's plan is considered a previous product.

Taken with a grain of salt mind you. The past 3 GFS runs have been similar.

Not blaming you...it's just ridiculous for precip maps to be generated at this point. It still could slam Fla or become a fish storm (although unlikely). Hurricanes are just flat out unpredictable and strange....

Should mean we have fresh data for the 00z run, correct?

Since the invest time is 1730z that equates to 1:30 est, so we should have a some good invest into what she's doing internally, as they will be flying surface to 15,000ft. So to answer your question there will be real time data coming from the Hunter.
