Re: why this is a possible problem

Ok...I'm a bit confused.

SFMR found 119kt surface winds. Dropsonde found 120kt surface winds in a different area. All of this within the last hour or so.

Why does the NHC still have Ike at a Category 3 per 8pm advisory? Those readings are both into Cat 4, which starts at 114kts.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
