It shows a good look at the low-level circulation with a very well-established eye and great infkow around the south side of the system.

I think this thing is stronger than 75 knots...I'd say 90 knots and strengthening.

NHC will probably go with the tropical model initialization of 75 kts without visible satellite imagery ... but probably 80 kts (92 mph) at best ...

IMHO, 90 mph seems a reasonable estimate for Isabel.
