The pressure dropped 1 mb since the last recon pass.  The visible loop shows new towers beginning to pinwheel around the eye, so it should be entering another strengthening phase.  It's just a question of how fast it can solidify the eyewall and drop the pressure.

Looks like we may be getting an attempt to clear out the eye as well

Rotating upshear too. If it can solidify the eyewall the intensification pace should pick up substantially.

I had 125mph yesterday.....the 150 peak may be off, though. I think the delay means  maybe a slightly lower peak, but negligible impact on LF intensity.

I feel like it could really take off prior to landfall.

Thoughts on LF location? I feel like I can’t rule out a direct hit in the Bay south of Tallahassee, but could easily see a last minute east trend.

Steinhatchee seems a good place to post up for now. I agree it could be a bit NW of that.

Still thinking 140 is very plausible late tonight...then a slight weakening just prior to landfall...

RI, I would think is about 6 -12 hours away.

I don't think the eye will clear out till about 8:00 or 9:00 (eastern) tonight. Takes several hours after closed EW is observed per aircraft, in my experience. 

Looking at the potential west or east moves...while I understand a stronger storm may be more responsive to beta drift off to the NE...you can see a weakness extending NW into LA at 500mb. I don't necessarily see a kicker to the east and that weakness concerns me for perhaps a track on the western side of the envelope at landfall.

Could not pick a better place to landfall in Florida is terms of coastal population and coastal infrastructure.  Mostly Wildlife Management areas and marsh.   Will keep surge damage / loss to a relative minimum.  Inland wind damage is another story.  Lots of tree damage and power outages on tap.

I was just checking the area likely to get the largest surge on google maps. This has to be the least developed coastal area on the entire east/gulf coast. For once we get to watch a storm explode and not feel that back of the mind guilt about loss of life. 
Even inland it’s going to pass between Tallahassee and Gainesville. It wouldn’t surprise me if monetary losses are larger in the Carolina’s then Florida with this one.
