Surely there will be a special advisory any minute making this official? We’re truly witnessing history here

Perhaps the craziest dropsonde, like, ever.

Zooming in on this 1200 × 845 image, I found that the eye is only 9 pixels.

this is insane

I'd at least put out a Tropical Cyclone Update.

[ConvergenceZone]

Based on all that data, I'd go with 165 kt for the current intensity.

because 165 knots equals 189.979 mph, IF they increased it to that speeds, would they round up to 190 or round down to 185?

Patricia still takes the take for me, but this is close.

[CrazyC83]

Rita, you're next.

This knocks a whole bunch of storms down a peg. Rita is the record holder for the Gulf of Mexico.

Crazy that only a few days ago this looked like a "sheared mess". Goes to show what 24 hours over rocket fuel (29C SSTs) can do for a tropical cyclone's structure

That would be 190 mph.

Those 188kt / 216mph winds on the dropsonde are only 10mb above surface, maybe 300 feet or so.

Patricia has met her match I see

[tropicwatch]

The eye is getting even smaller, geez

This seriously looks like something out of the West Pacific...

[Hypercane_Kyle]

I'd go with 899mb, 190mph at the next update.

Latest dropsonde is even more extreme - a 188 kt gust just above the surface.

899 is insane and I still feel like they missed the center by a bit there. Interested to see what the next center fix finds

[Texashawk]

Milton has to be the official poster child for the cliche “Well, that escalated quickly…”
