Wow thats along ways from the center. 92 knots winds at 925 millibars. In 84 knots at 850 millibars...
What this means they upgraded it with 79 knots winds at flight level. This thing now has 84 knots winds at almost the same level away from the eyewall. In look at the 925 level holy shoot 92 knots. This thing has a very oreganized cdo. In has started to develop a small eye near the center. Expect a major hurricane soon.

Yes, those are in in order of higher pressure to lower pressure, which is the same as lower alittude to higher alitutde.
