We don't have the vortex data message yet, but we do have a near vortex read showing 113 30-sec FL winds and 106 surface winds. Looks like it is weakened slightly.

Can't say that for sure...that is only a point sample of one side of the storm, not the entire storm itself...there very well could be (and will be) higher wind speeds elsewhere...the wind field around a hurricane (especially those with mesovortexes like this one) is NOT symmetric.
