extra note: satellite appearance is still improving. wont be surprised if the recon finds a hurricane with a 940-950 pressure and winds around 140. -HF
It would actually surprise me if the *didn't* find at least a Cat 4 storm and that kind of pressure, HF. The satellite appearance of Dean this evening is extremely impressive, and as you said, it's still improving. Eyewall replacement cycles not withstanding, Dean is well on the way to becoming a Cat 5 - possibly tomorrow.
