The recon passes thus far show a very broad wind field and loose gradient around the center, which makes sense considering the storm is in the process of undergoing an ERC. Further strengthening would be tough since it’s already pretty deep of a system and broad, however the storm is very well ventilated aloft and is drawing moisture from the south and Baja of California. Therefore I wouldn’t rule it out.
bottom line is the broad windfield will make it such that TS winds and heavy rains will arrive well before the center will. There won’t be time for this to spin down because of cold waters as impacts will be felt while the center is still 300 (or more) miles south.
