A recent NOAA3 dropsonde as of 2240 Z or 6:40 PM EDT indicated central pressure has fallen to 944 mb. Maximum sustained winds have also increased to 145 mph with higher gusts. Fabian could intensify a bit more this evening into tonight as the eye contracts and outflow is perfect in all sides of the hurricane. A classic major hurricane, which is beautiful on satellite now. Luckily this isn't expected to directly impact the United States at this time. Bermuda could get very close to the circulation though. More on that a bit later.
Right now let me pass along the info on the latest dropsonde from NOAA. It's below!!! Good evening folks.
