See my post above. There were obs just outside that convective ball that were in the 20 kt range in all quadrants. And that's only 250nm from the center. TS force winds appear to be way less than the 4pm NHC advisory.

Wow, two sources saying T3.5 or more (another now at T3.8) - that should bring it officially at least to 55kt...

That justifies at least 55, if not 60, knots...somehow I think the NHC will stubbornly keep it at 45 until the Recon goes out.

For the moment I'd personally hold it at 55kt but that could change.

depends upon what the other Dvorak estimates are

You are only considering two of them, and one is hardly mentioned by NHC
