Winds went calm at Key West at the reported time of landfall, but since then, the winds have been out of the ESE, which would normally indicate that the center is still somewhere to the SW. Also, the pressure at the station dropped from 1001.3 mb at the time of reported landfall (3 pm EDT) to 999.3 mb an hour later. Overall, the center still seems to be somewhat broad and diffuse, which should prevent any rapid intensification for the near future, though some modest intensification seems to be underway.
