There is still an opportunity for intensification in the next few hours, as the outflow has remained excellent. There is no sign of the shear that was supposed to impact the storm closer to landfall, but the water vapor does suggest some upper level SW winds approaching the SW quadrant of the storm. The air is pretty dry in the western quadrant, so it will still be a struggle for it to maintain intense convection all the way around the center.
