Storm Winds Pressure
Category 3 111-130 964-945


Now keep in mind these are only guidlines as far as pressure is concerned. If the sea surface pressures are lower during a certian year or time period the winds can be higher with higher pressures. Charley is a perfect example. The pressures in Charley's core did not correlate perfectly with wind speed. So it is possible for a storm to be one category with the pressure range of another.
