Pressures are falling again, and Rina is likely set to be declared the Atlantic's fourth major hurricane of 2011, in short order.

The latest recon mission has just made a pass through the center and found a minimum central pressure of roughly 966 mb, a decrease of approximately 4mb in less than two hours. It is not clear if winds are substantially responding to this pressure drop yet - it's probably a little too soon - but it's almost certainly having an impact, and barring a quick reversal, Rina should get upgraded yet again, very soon.

Here's some impressive data from the latest Vortex

D. Estimated (by SFMR or visually) Maximum Surface Wind: 103kts (~ 118.5mph)
H. Minimum Sea Level Pressure: 966mb (28.53 inHg)
I. Maximum Flight Level Temp & Pressure Altitude Outside Eye: 10°C (50°F) at a pressure alt. of 3,030m (9,941ft)
J. Maximum Flight Level Temp & Pressure Altitude Inside Eye: 20°C (68°F) at a pressure alt. of 3,036m (9,961ft)
