About to close off the eye, so shear or not this thing has put in work today and continued to become better organized.......the deeper and stronger it gets the further east in track guidance it will go.....I would caution the central and eastern NC peeps to keep thinking along the lines of this staying far enough off Florida to make a run at NC as a Cat 1/2 cane.....
Looking at modeling the models that get the current pressure closest stay east and are bigger threats to NC, something like the 12Z HMON for example.....recon is about to sample the center and I suspect they find pressure down a bit and dropping....
