Can someone explain me how do we have a TD/TS with a closed eye that is 3 m wide? Amazing or normal.

Tropical storms that are rapidly intensifying in some cases develop closed eyewalls. In this case, I believe it needs to get onshore before it becomes much stronger. I wouldn't be surprised if it got to 992mb before landfall!

I believe that missed the center of the cyclone. I am suspicious the the pressure actually rose by 3mb in the last 90 minutes

Yep, I was wondering because the fix is actually a little east of the previous one. But it does look like Bret is virtually stationary right now.

Kind of weird having a eye with a weak tropical storm. In its only 3 nmi wide??? Is that some kind of record.

Also the pressure field must be very tight for the pressure in the core to go from 1002 over the center to 1011 avg enviroment outside of the system. That sound/ob a by a few miles rised 3 millibars. In this thing has a 3 nmi wide eye. With that side there is most likely to be that chance that this is a good part stronger near that eye wall(Meaning that if the pressure is hard in with in a small area. The max winds most likely are to)? This is a first.

It could be due to the fact it is such a small storm. It's easy for a pressure rise like that to happen when they are that tiny.
