Re: Hurricane Watches up For NC/VA, Warnings Later Today

09/02 05:30:30Z 926.4mb (~27.36 inHg)
Topped another record low pressure in the Western Atlantic.
Hurricane Andrew 1992 had 922mb at FL Landfall.
I'm not sure if this NOAA report from earlier will be a record as it's about 1500 feet above the surface. But it's got to be in the top 10 Western Atlantic dropsonde windspeeds:
895mb 60° (from the ENE) 173 knots (199 mph)
