The satellite indicated the possibility of some weakening because the cloud tops had warmed somewhat and the CDO was somewhat asymmetric. Based on the latest recon (pressure back up to 929 mb), it seems to have peaked momentarily in intensity. Cloud tops around the center have begun to cool again on the last few frames, so it may attempt to begin another intensification cycle soon.
The warmest waters of the Caribbean are still further west, so it may be about as strong as the environment will allow right now.
