NHC Models

Interesting note on the 06Z NHC models.
At 48 hrs they have the wind speed at 123kts/ 141mph.
Somewhere between 26.8-27.3/ 88.4-90.4 offshore

At 72 hours they are forecasting 124 kts-143mph.
Somewhere between 31.0-32.9/ 84.7-91.0 well inland

That would appear to indicate an increase in wind speed before landfall. For the winds to be 1 mph above the overwater speed. Am I reading that right?

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
