OK folks - time for a little lesson regarding GOES imagery. Within 24 hours after a GOES position keeping maneuver, the satellite frequently makes adjustments off it's regular track, resulting in the imagery appearing to shift in pretty much any direction. It is not advisable to start arguing over wobbles based on satellite-derived motion right now. When you see the eye go south, look at the rest of the image...EVERYTHING shifts south and then back north. Wait until tomorrow before the satellite is back in it's permanent position.

Katrina dropped 31MB in 9 hours and went from 110mph to 160 mph winds.

Wilma has dropped 15MB in about 1/2 this time. If you extrapolate this out, we have a major hurricane with 150 mph+ winds by morning.

Put Wilma and Katrina side by side and you can see why Wilma's pressure drop is tighter and steeper
