Watching the IR loop on tropical its pretty evident that its finally getting the effects of the dry air and shear....looks much worse now than just 45 mins ago....lots of warming tops and limited new storm development....also radar looks less scary its weakening just a matter of how much before landfall.
HHs getting 115knt Flight level so far.
GFS went east a bit

Pressure still falling too. It seems like it's not even weakening despite the IR appearance.

Could end up where the flight level winds are much higher than what they see at the surface, without the strong storms they wont mix down as well. Had that happen here a few times, Isabel had a pressure here of 955 and we only gusted to 50 with 100 knts a few thousand ft up because the SW eyewall had no storms to get them down. The IR loop certainly doesnt scream strengthening storm....
Looks like it's trying to cover the dry slot. Also looks like eye is warming.

Yeah looks funny on radar like there were or are two centers that are merging...again its long range on the radar so its hard to tell...
90 knts at the surface in the NE eyewall that first pass....

Solid CAT 3. 961 splash, so it's likely peaked
