963 mb is absurdly low for a cat 1 hurricane, but this is probably approaching cat 2 as we speak.
Yeah, under normal Atlantic conditions 963 is borderline Cat 3 - but as Clark mentioned, the western Carribean has lower-than-average pressure right now, so the pressure gradient isn't as high as 963mb would normally indicate.
