Description	English: As noted in this blog post, Radar Constellation Mission (RCM1) Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) wind estimates were available over Idalia just before landfall on 30 August 2023, as shown above. RCM1 sampled the hurricane 12 hours before landfall, as well, (All SAR overpasses for Idalia are available online here) Peak winds are just under 60 m/s, and the eye is just offshore. Compare this to the image from 12 hours earlier, below, which image has a maximum wind speed around 55 m/s. The area of strong winds has expanded (green/yellow in the enhancement) between the earlier overpass (below) and the later overpass (above)
