VERY TIGHT WIND CENTER
GEESH this thing is going to be packing quite a punch VERY soon. I know, the pressures are overall quite low in the NW Caribbean... but one thing I always look for is an incredible pressure drop, to signify a strengthening storm. Forget the actual pressure - a drop of 16 MB in a couple of hours (I forget exactly when the last recon fix was) is incredible. We saw it with Rita, too, so it's not shocking, but it's significant. The phrase "very tight wind center" is indicative of a Dennis-like storm. It's like history is repeating itself repeatedly this season.
