I finally got to radar and while the eyewall looks tremendous there is also a huge moat starting to appear.

I noticed the HAFS-A in particular has been insistent since 06z in creating this moat before landfall when the hurricane is near peak strength in the 910s. doesn’t weaken the storm at all once the moat forms either.

I really thought this was going to be a cat 5 now especially given the satellite estimates and what data they're getting now. So confused. 

I don’t think the NHC could pull the trigger on a C5 with that little center data. Recon needs time to confirm imo.

Recon just started measuring, give them time. This reading is, again, from the southeast quadrant of the eyewall. The highest winds in a hurricane reside in the northeast quad where the lowest pressure also resides. We are minutes away from finding out what the NE quad measures.

Definitely eager to see that data and hopefully they get a good pass through the eye
