Tropical Hurricane Nate

How about everyone else? Do those gusts get weaker further on quickly or maintain?

Hurricane Nate Discussion Number 13
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL162017

Nate is showing improved organization in satellite imagery this
morning, with the formation of a symmetric central dense overcast
with cloud tops colder than -80C. In addition, Air Force Reserve
and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft have reported a central pressure
near 984 mb inside a 25 n mi wide eye that is starting to form under
the overcast.
The planes have reported 700-mb flight level winds of
up to 88 kt and surface wind estimates from the SFMR instrument
between 75-85 kt. Based on these data, the initial intensity is
increased to a possibly conservative 80 kt.

Conditions appear favorable for Nate to continue strengthening for
the next 12 h or so before it encounters land and increasing shear.
The new intensity forecast thus follows the SHIPS model in showing
Nate become a Category 2 hurricane before landfall on the central
Gulf Coast.
 
I wonder if that band draped across Cuba on the eastern side was dragging down on Nate’s organization. It seems to be stationary and slowly being left behind.
