I think the reason the winds were never upped was given by the NHC, and was basically along the lines of "well, all of our planes couldn't find any sustainable winds at that speed, so we aren't upping it." I agree to some degree - I've kept up with the recon reports, and the planes simply haven't reported more than around 97kts most of the time, which is why they've kept it around 105mph.
I'm keeping a nervous watch on the recon data, waiting for the plane to start sending back data. They've sent out a RECCO report, but the winds are only 20kts, and I know they aren't in the red zone yet.
