I would say intensification for the next 12 hours is fair but that's also a lot of time considering the system is RI'ing and there's no shear. I'd expect it to maintain its intensity after 12 hours for another 12-24 hours before beginning to weaken. Global models keep it alive for a couple of more days.

I agree with this. I'm not saying intensification isn't possible after 12 h, but further RI is unlikely, in my opinion.

Already at 100kts per ADT which is the best for hurricanes that continue to RI.

I'll estimate around 80 knots at this time but probably crossing into cat2 range by 2am...Eye needs to warm and the "cold" convection needs to wrap around to the eastern quad.

SAB uses Microwave imagery for center fixes in developing system to help with their Dvorak analysis, why didn't they do the same thing here?

You'll be hard pressed to get a microwave pass that impressive as the one that we've seen.

EWRC as it appears to be an outter eyewall is forming or is it dry air?

If it's an EWRC then that's more proof that Eugene was a major hurricane since EWRCs usually happen in intense storms with strong eyewall.

Hurricane Eugene Discussion Number 7
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL EP052017
300 AM MDT Sun Jul 09 2017

Although it hasn't cleared out entirely, an eye has persisted
in infrared satellite imagery since the last advisory, and cloud
tops colder than -70C have at times completely encircled the eye.
Subjective Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB were T4.5/77 kt and
T5.0/90 kt, respectively, at 0600 UTC, and an average of these
numbers was mirrored by an objective ADT estimate of T4.8/85 kt.
Eugene's rapid intensification phase continues, and the hurricane is
now estimated to be category 2 with 85-kt winds.

Eugene continues on a northwestward trajectory with an initial
motion of 325/7 kt. Mid-tropospheric ridging is expected to remain
anchored over the western United States for a few more days, while
a progressive shortwave trough approaches the coast of California.
This pattern should keep Eugene on a northwestward path for the
entire five-day forecast period, with a faster forward speed
anticipated from 12-36 hours. The track guidance remains tightly
clustered, especially through 72 hours, and the NHC official
forecast has been nudged westward toward the various consensus
models. By the end of the forecast period, the official forecast
favors the weaker, westward-leaning GFS and ECMWF models.

Eugene has blown through all prior intensity guidance, so it's a
little difficult to know how long this period of rapid
intensification will last. The hurricane is expected to remain in
a low-shear environment for much of the forecast period, and it
will continue to traverse waters warmer than 26C for another 24-36
hours. Therefore, continued strengthening is likely, and Eugene
could attain major hurricane intensity before it reaches colder
water. The new NHC intensity forecast has been bumped upward and
continues to be at the upper bound of the intensity models, closest
to the SHIPS guidance through 36 hours. Weakening should be rather
fast after 36 hours as Eugene moves over quickly decreasing sea
surface temperatures, and the global models suggest that the
cyclone will cease producing deep convection by 96 hours. At that
point in the forecast Eugene is expected to be a remnant low.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 09/0900Z 15.2N 114.1W 85 KT 100 MPH
12H 09/1800Z 16.4N 115.1W 100 KT 115 MPH

I'm seeing that in the NRL tag for the latest image, it now places Eugene at 95 knots.

Probably down to 12 hours. Cat 4 is possible nevertheless but CDO needs to thicken.
