ADDITIONAL STRENGTHENING IS POSSIBLE AND CATEGORY FOUR INTENSITY AT LANDFALL IN FLORIDA CANNOT BE RULED OUT. A GRADUAL WEAKENING SHOULD BEGIN AFTER LANDFALL. THE INTENSITY FORECAST FOLLOWS SHIPS INLAND DECAY MODEL....DSHIPS. THE HURRICANE HAS BEEN WOBBLING BETWEEN THE WEST AND WEST-NORTHWEST AT 12 KNOTS DURING THE PAST FEW HOURS.
