Ran the probable center location against a beam characteristic calculator.
Distance from Cancun radar to the center of storm determined by radar. At 0530Z, this was 070degrees at 71.5nm. Here are the results.
0.5deg Elev Angle
Beam Top Ht ARL- 10,700ft
Beam Ctr Ht ARL-7,200ft
Beam Bottom ht ARL-3700ft
Beamwidth-----------7100ft wide
This is for a WSR-88D radar and may not be accurate for Cancun radar.
