Intensity right at landfall is forecast at 110 now at latest NHC update
 
This isn’t just a case of the HWRF showing RI. When globals like the GFS and Euro are showing this bombing out sub 950mb then pay close attention. Unfortunately, assuming no EWRC before landfall, this will likely do similar to Michael and Harvey which is a worst case scenario.
 
Pressure is down to 994.7 mb.

Another thing, as @SD earlier said this gives me Erin vibes but stronger, for areas farther East, Thermos/wind energy is favorable for a some sort of line that could produce damaging winds/isolated tornadoes for SC/NC/GAA8E66CEF-26A1-4640-9465-1B12620162F6.pngBE1CF8F0-4552-4DE1-8104-0652FBA9CBA9.png
 
Pressure is down to 994.7 mb.

What did the models forecast for Laura's pressure when it left Cuba, I'm curious to see how Laura's current intensity compares to what models had forecast for her at this point. Especially the more bullish models.
 
Euro is way west these west trends can stop anytime now also it's strengthening til landfall

The hurricane watches may have to be extended southward
