Re: Looks like a stall

One dropsonde indicating 137 kt winds is not enough evidence to raise the intensity up that high, because it could be more of a gust. There have been several dropsondes prior to this in the 120-130 knot range at the surface though, stronger than the winds at higher levels measured in the same dropsonde, so the wind profile may be a little unusual compared to most storms.
