Re: new plots by NHC

I'm interested to see what NHC will set the intensity to in the 2pm update. The wind data thus far from the latest recon reports suggest the max winds are no higher than 120 knots, but the surface pressure (915 mb) normally supports much stronger winds than that. The apparent ERC that is taking place is likely the cause of the large decrease in max winds and some of the decrease may just be temporary, assuming the pressure continues to hold steady or only slowly rise.
