Not sure how to make this into a poll but thought it would be interesting to "guesstimate" Laura's lowest MB (pressure in millibars).
I'll go with 927mb

Re: Hurricane Laura - Lowest Sea Level Pressure Guess
I think it will be similar to Michaels if it goes further west 920mb.

955mb since everyone else's guesses are so clustered. A much stronger storm is obviously on the table but who knows I could luck out

Re: Hurricane Laura - Lowest Sea Level Pressure Guess
I'm going to say 915mb, but this reading isn't at the coast - thinking an EWRC starts a bit before landfall, bringing up its central pressure by 10-15mb (if not more).

I am only a meteorology enthusiast who knows a decent amount about tropical cyclones. Look to the professional mets, the NHC, or your local weather office for the best information.

Re: Hurricane Laura - Lowest Sea Level Pressure Guess
Okay, so far NXStumpy_Robothing has the lowest estimate at 915 mg. I'll be honest, my mind first went there before settling on a bit higher pressure. Potentially though..... I could see lower yet.

I am in no way a professional. Take what I say with a grain of salt as I could be totally wrong. Please refer to the NHC, NWS, or SPC for official information.

I'm going with 934 mb... and I don't think she's the deepest system, perhaps not even in the gulf, that we end up seeing this season.
