They found 996 mb.
 
Major convective burst is ongoing as well right now over the center. It looks like the inflow is starting to recover now. I’m a bit surprised this is so strong after skirting the coast all day.
 
I don't think I have ever seen pressure that high in a hurricane before.
 
Wow I wasn't even watching recon lol

Fortunately, that won't strengthen much at all with high shear all around it like this: between lack of org now, lots of land, and high shear, this should never amount to all that much..but will there still be heavy rain in spots?

It remains to be seen what happens down the road... but we now have an 80mph hurricane. And it did this while crossing Hispaniola (possible frictional forces helped consolidate the center).
 
Major convective burst is ongoing as well right now over the center. It looks like the inflow is starting to recover now. I’m a bit surprised this is so strong after skirting the coast all day.

Friction has probably been helping this thing strengthen, haven’t been paying attention but now I am
