I saw that pressure once or twice on the dropsonde reports. Since they were extrapolating the pressure I discounted the dropsonde pressure.
Now it would appear that the Flight MET and NHC have gone over the data and are using the 990mb reading.

I also saw a strange jump in aircraft altitude. Unless they are heading back to their base, they climbed over 3500 ft in 3 minutes. I hope that was't an updraft!
