Here's a good view of Felix's environment. Click on the SST image switch from conditions to anamolies and back again. Quickscat has a similar switch function.
It looks to me from that the it still has even warmer water to go over before it reaches the coast.
We really need a microwave pass to see if a 2nd eyewall is starting to form. Recon didn't report concentric eyewalls, but they only report that if the 2nd wall is over 50% formed.
Edit: Last couple frames on IR show the eye shrinking dramatically.
