It's interesting to watch this hurricane inch closer to land. Satellite presentation looks to be improving, though cloud-tops are warming on the southwest side of the 'cane, which is fits the observation of weaker echos on the southern side of the eye versus the northern side of the eye. A burst of convection / cooling cloudtops has been rotating around the northern side of the hurricane, so it'll be interesting to see what happens as it hits the weaker, SW side... Latest recon has shown 959mb central pressure, though I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see that slightly lower on the next update.
EDIT: I see a dropsonde observation from 2231z recorded a central pressure of 951mb, a rather signficant drop since the latest vortex message (from 2041z), which had 959mb. Mind you, there is a diff between hurricane hunter reported pressure and dropsonde pressure. LOL Of course this is all hinging on me reading/decoding dropsonde observations correctly...
EDIT II: The 8pm advisory did have 951mb central pressure, but a recent recon report showed only 960mb center. An update from NHC stated that the "new" central pressure is 957mb, so it's not deepening as quickly as previously thought.
