Guessing:

They'll find Arlene to be at 1001 mbs and 60 mph.

Why would the pressure be higher?

I agree the latest visible and inferred looks impressive, but recon and microwave are showing the center is still pretty broad. We are going to need a northward jog to see anything beyond 60mph because this system is running out of time.

Oops, I didn't see the NHC update.

I'm going to guess 998 mbs.

its not necessarily stacked to where we can see any serious RI in my opinion. It looks like there's 2 centers with 1 off to the north of the official one. Its looking very healthy tho, probly a 65mph storm at landfall, threatening hurricane status.

18z SHIPS RI probs even higher

Prob of RI for 25 kt RI threshold= 53% is 4.2 times the sample mean(12.8%)

Prob of RI for 30 kt RI threshold= 47% is 5.6 times the sample mean( 8.4%)

Prob of RI for 35 kt RI threshold= 28% is 5.6 times the sample mean( 5.0%)

Prob of RI for 40 kt RI threshold= 23% is 6.9 times the sample mean( 3.4%)

It would appear that Recon is having communication problems. With it 1935GMT now, the most recent set of obs is from 1900, and the most recent obs had one observation which was repeated 10 times in a row (excluding time), then a jump, then a few updates where it was not stuck, then ending with observations repeating again

This happens occasionally, and it may be related to why this particular mission was delayed. I believe as long as the NHC is able to get some information (no matter how spastic), the mission will continue. Sometimes these things smooth out as well.
