Random Chaos did say:
Quote:Yeah, the eyewall's now closed and she's got the warm water, both of which should help with strengthening. However, there's only a 3 degree temperature difference and she's not circular, so I suspect we might see a little more weakening before she starts to strengthen. At the least, I would think she's going to take a little time to strengthen, and we're not going to see anything explosive.
927mb, but she's over the warm eddy:
