And yet even with the higher SLP of the globals, they all are flirting with all-time record low SLP in much of C and NE GA!
I'm afraid to say that this storm is going to catch a lot of people with their pants down.
They're going to be surprised by how much this affects inland GA and the Carolinas with its fury.
I hope I'm wrong.

Looking a bit better on IR, maybe trying to clear a eye out...still struggling to maintain deep convection around the core though.
 
If these recon fixes are accurate then the center is moving much more east than the NHC and cane models had it going...the NHC has it crossing 85W about even with Tampa..if you extrap put those two fixes it does it more like Naples/Ft Myers

Hurricane Helene Discussion Number 12
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL092024
400 AM CDT Thu Sep 26 2024

Helene is sending some mixed structural signals this morning. On
one side, an Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft reports
that the central pressure has fallen to near 966 mb, and satellite
imagery shows the eye is trying to clear out. On another side, the
aircraft reported concentric eyewalls of 16 and 32 n mi diameter,
with the maximum flight-level winds, 80 kt at 700 mb, occurring
about 50 n mi southeast of the center likely in relation to the
outer eyewall. Based on the central pressure fall and the
available data, the initial intensity is increased to 80 kt.

The hurricane is starting its expected turn toward the
north-northeast,
