The plane recently reported 152 knot winds in the northern eyewall at about 10000 feet and 125 knot winds at the surface.




Well that is getting very close to Cat 5 - and as all along, the winds in this storm increasing before the central pressure drops. Very interesting. I wonder what the call will be at the intermediate advisory. Guess there'll be a special advisory soon to mention the recon results.
