Looks like pressure is down again... around 917-918mb.... winds seem to not have caught up
My guess is that they have not sampled the strongest winds. A 917MB pressure is well within the level that would justify an upgrade to Cat 5, though. Satellite presentation is not all that impressive, though... but then again, it has improved since 00z (8pm ET), so we'll see if the plane can ever find stronger winds, and if not, what the NHC does with Dean at 11pm.
Just saw the newest vortex - pressure *measured* at 918mb, but winds still only 123kts at flight level, which would be 111kts at the surface (~127mph).
