FLHurricane.com: Wilma (2005) 882mbar

Dear All,

I am new here - have a quick question. From what I've read - the NHC recorded Wilma's pressure as 884mbar at 0800 UTC 19 Oct. 2005. Since the dropsonde did not reach the center, pressure was estimated to be 882mbar. Later at 1200 UTC pressure was recorded as 882mbar, and as late as 1500 UTC Wilma was still estimated to have a central pressure of 882mbar. By 2100 UTC central pressure had risen to 892mbar.

The question: for how many hours did Wilma sustain (882mbar) pressure, and at what time (approx.) did central pressure begin to rise?

I attached a satellite image taken at 1615 UTC 19 Oct. Was central pressure still estimated to be 882mbar at this time?

I apologize if this question seems out of place.

-Francesco
