The 908 mb pressure was from a dropsonde in the eye. The 914 mb pressure was extrapolated at a later time, which I guess is why NHC is using that number in their advisory. Which means, if the extrapolation is right, Rita may just have turned a corner (definitely not THE corner, but I can hope).

I just have a hard time thinking this thing is slowing down given the fact it is over warm bath water... I hope their right, and I am wrong...

I think we have another day of this, or at least half a day. On the current pressure, Avila's the lead forecaster and he may be preferring to go with more conservative figures, because he is like that. It took him forever to admit to the higher winds.
Time to watch.
The NHC is predicting this storm is going over Lagrange! City of fable, song and one bad movie musical....
