I would expect with the jet dynamics coming in from the west that that rain shield will expand further west as the NAM gets closer.

5 pm discussion
This new NHC track
is close to the corrected model consensus and between the quicker
ECMWF and slower GFS models. It should be emphasized that this
track remains uncertain, with a typical spread in the steering
features leading to big speed and track differences down the line,
not to mention the oblique angle of approach to Florida.
In a few
days, more of the guidance is showing Ian interacting with a
shortwave trough over the southeastern United States, causing the
system to move back over the northwestern Atlantic in the longer
range, before turning northwestward back over land. The day 3-5
track forecast is also shifted eastward, although significant
re-strengthening is not expected at long range.

New eyewall. It’s going through a replacement cycle

Sometimes they never recover and the eye stays big, I wouldn’t be suprised if it peaks at 130 mph
Lots of shear to the NW of the storm

Looks like Charleston
Wow.

NHC calling for strengthening Cat 4 into landfall now
Yep, remnants of the original SW portion are pretty much done, a little bit of a moot to clear out but new maxima about 35 miles SW of the center is taking over. Certainly appears to be one the cleaner ERCs we have seen on radar, often times the remnants bounce around and disrupt the core significantly for a period, the NW side being firmly rooted in the heavier convection helped here.
Actually where the shear is located in relation to the storm, it could actually help to vent the outflow and aide in strengthening

Port Charlotte, Cape Coral, Fort Myers could all be getting the biggest storm surge they've had since 1960
