Why would this bouy, south of where the storm currently is (bouy=28.9 N, 89.4 W, storm=29.4 N, 90.1 W) still have decreasing pressure and increasing winds... the wind direction is beginning to shift, so that tells me the storm has passed, but I don't get the wind speed and pressure... This has been my bouy of interest all night... I guess the bouy numbers are from 11 CDT and the storm number from midnight CDT, but even at 11, it was north of the bouy...

It appears that the pressure is still dropping. The nearest station, I can find, to BURL1 (Buras C-Man Station) is the Weather Service observation at Boothville (29.2N 089. 2W) . Around 25 miles NE of BURL1. 0100Z reported wind ENE at 23kts gust to 33kts, pressure 29.78" Sea Level pressure of 1008.5mb
