Well this may be going out on a limb but ever since awhile ago when the outflow started looking so good, it seems like Emily was on a roll again. Now it seems like this is the case, because the eyewall replacement which has been trying to happen for the longest time is completing, and I think there are enough hours left for the conditions to improve in the core. I am thinking a very very small but powerful center will result before landfall, but everywhere else, not much punch. Now it looks like one of the recon flights is targeted to arrive after the others and to hang around in the area for some hours, so perhaps there will be up-to-date readings of the environment around the core right up until landfall around 11 tonight.
Well I'm gonna post this and go track down the 8pm update!

is this because of the eye wall replacement or is it over with her?

Ok looking at the various floaters at the , it appears that Emily is falling apart *and* trying to make a hard right turn at the same time. What I think I'm seeing is the effect that land has on the hurricane, because it seriously looks like some sort of wall is just ahead of emily and the storm really doesn't want to go that way. I wonder if it could weaken the storm?
I'll look again in a couple hours to see if it's more than a wobble or optical effect. But I wonder if something ... odd... is taking place? Any thoughts?

Storm surge is my biggest concern.What will the storm surge be now?Will going from 145mph to 135 make much of a difference?The main street there is only about 3 blocks from the ocean,I assume that will be wiped out.Just looked at the lastest loop,and she has got an nice eye again,in the last image. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/watl-ir4-loop.html

Convection is still not entirely wrapped around. I wonder if cooler SSTs are upwelling in the shallower waters as she nears the coast.

OK first recon is on the website, about an hour old, and pressure hasn't changed much, winds look like they're down to 130, maybe 125, thermal degree gradient low (2 deg).
To be expected at this point.
Doesn't it look like she could be downgraded to a Cat 3 at this point...but it is a couple hours away from the 11pm advisory but it will be interesting to see how she looks in two hours.

The eyewall is closed. I think the reorg is just not completed, probably will take a couple more hours for the eyewall to finish rebuilding.
Good thing is that now we'll have recon data!

The latest NOAA discussion mentions that it is looking to take a more northern turn and the prediction was adjusted, but this is not reflected in the prediction is it? What do you all think?

Most all are in shelters,and safe.There are only so many flights out of there.Gudos to the Mexican Goverment,they did a great job.
