Re: so what caused Felix to weaken?

Compact storms such as felix are more sensitive to their enviornment, and therefore susceptible to rapid intensification, and weakening --both of which we have seen here.
135MPH is nothing to sneeze at, though, and the cyclone still has ample time to strengthen before landfall.
