It likely means the next report that comes out will show that this storm has strengthened to between 916-920MB which will surely correlate to an increase in the eye temps and max sustained winds. Basically it is till getting stronger.

Confirmed strengthening. Wonder what the NE to SW pass is going to look like windspeed wise.

916 mb (millibars) is a measure of pressure. Generally, the lower the pressure, the stronger the storm. Katrina's lowest was 902

By the time he finds out it maybe to late to leave. They are not many routes heading out and there will be thousands heading north once the signal is given.

AF309's last dropsonde into Irma was at 16.9 N 58.9 W

let's see where NOAA2 drops its first dropsonde marking the center of the eye

NOAA2's 1st eye drop... 17.1 N 59.9 W

pressure at the surface is 920 mb

ETA: for movement that's +0.2 N +1.0 W

ETA: that's 5 hours between drops
