Dean is now approaching the warmest (hottest?) part of the Caribbean, I believe, and just looking at the IR loop, it appears that the eye is shrinking, and doing so at a quick pace, so it's not surprising to see a lower pressure and a single eyewall. Curious that the estimated surface winds (121kts) are very close to the FL winds (125kts)...
