They will probably change the measurements to so they can get one immediately - like moving from pressure to wind speed in eh 70s.

I want to see what they rate Idalia in the final report. I want them to stay, and justify staying, with it as a 125mph Cat. 3 at landfall. In the initial report the max sustained wind measured on land was 72.5mph with a max gust of 86.3mph. The only wind measurement I've seen even close to a major hurricane came from that insufferable twat Jeff Pietrowski, and if he's the guy they're going to hang their "first major hurricane to hit the big bend of Florida since...." hat on.....well, they deserve any bashing they get. We've seen the NHC revise a storm up in category, let's see if they will revise one down.
