963 mb is absurdly low for a cat 1 hurricane, but this is probably approaching cat 2 as we speak.


Looking at the IR, the section that's over the Caribbean currently seems to have more than one hot spot. Perhaps resulting in unusually slow wind speed for such a low pressure?

But it looks like the Cuban land mass is about to 'lance' the largest group of those hot spots to the northeast of Wilma's center.
