I think those SFMR values are extremely suspect. I highly doubt winds are reaching 150 kts anywhere at the surface. The storm is well inland and pressure is rising.
Who can understand these radiometers. When the storm was at its peak strength in the Gulf of Mexico, the SFMR values were MUCH lower than winds reported a Flight-Level. Now that the storm is weakening with a higher pressure and moving inland, it shows stronger winds than reported at Flight-Level.
Some adjustments to these instruments should definitely be in order...

I agree, but it seems to me that the NHC likes the SFMR quite a bit. They upgraded Katrina to a hurricane based on it, then lowered winds to 165 based on it and only it. They give it so much weight, I wonder what they will choose to do now.
