NAM, you so cray
 
Given the shear being relatively minor until it reaches Central Florida and the TCHP of the Florida Straits, it has the potential to bomb out again. I guess we will find out soon.
 
INIT 09/1500Z 22.8N 79.8W 110 KT 125 MPH
12H 10/0000Z 23.4N 80.7W 115 KT 130 MPH
24H 10/1200Z 24.5N 81.6W 120 KT 140 MPH
36H 11/0000Z 26.4N 82.1W 120 KT 140 MPH
 
It's amazing how some people think that just because it has weakened some today that Florida has somehow been spared. This is still an extremely dangerous storm with potential for strengthening over the next 24-36 hours.

Definitely got it pegged IMO to get back to 150-160 mph winds by time it gets near Naples if it doesn't make direct landfall might stay that way up to panhandle
 
I wasn't up to read the debates over strength and my last look at Irma...it did look ragged but as long as the core stays intact (and I really can't tell being a novice) I suspect that this still ends up being a 4 when there is a landfall on the US.

Edited: I know that it's a 3 now.
