They are estimating pressures. And its rather difficult to gauge the intensity of a disorganized depression. The stronger winds will be associated with stronger convective activity.

So in short...I don't think its wise to live and die by each individual recon ob. Look at the big picture...

30-35mph; 1008mb; the direction is rather difficult, but we'll go with a NW at around 8 mph.
