Pressure dropping but winds weakening...temporary lag? Safe to say the micro-core of yesterday is gone; and this will likely be one of those storms with a fairly broad windfield that's not exceptionally strong at its center. Unlikely to rapidly intensify, but also resilient to anything more than slow weakening in the face of shear.
Actually winds are higher now, based on recon. This morning and earlier this afternoon it was hard to find Cat 1 winds but on the last couple of passes before they left they found them better.
