D. Estimated (by SFMR or visually) Maximum Surface Wind Inbound: 137kts (~ 157.7mph)
H. Minimum Sea Level Pressure: 913mb (26.96 inHg)
M. Eye Shape & Diameter: Circular with a diameter of 10 nautical miles (12 statute miles)
Ten mile eye, expanded from earlier. Pressure confirmed 913 mb. Cat 5 winds in the SW side of the eyewall.
Oh and the eyewall replacement might be a faux one like we saw with Irma. Double max not quite as apparent and radar looks like the inner eyewall might have won this round. More time needed to be certain of course.

So still at 161 mph winds but the pressure is still dropping so it should keep strengthening.

Clearly, something happened to the storm. Secondary wind max, followed by expanding wind field and eye grew in size. If it is done with whatever that was, it will probably strengthen some more before PR.

The end result was like a replacement cycle, but without the weakening and long battle killing in the inner eye.
Weird. Irma had a similar thing happen IIRC.

Hurricane center forecasters have said it “now appears likely” that Maria will still be at category 5 intensity when it moves over the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, according to the AP.
The center of the storm was forecast to move over or near the US Virgin Island of St Croix and Puerto Rico on Tuesday night and Wednesday, leading to “life-threatening” floods.

Top 10 all time as of now.
Pressure drop 3 mb/hr currently. Could make a run at 900 mb. St. Croix still in the path of strongest winds.

I remember in one of the other threads, someone posted the top 10 strongest hurricanes, with wind and pressure columns. Does anyone have that saved?
