Latest vortex message of 954mb supports a Cat 3 hurricane. Looks like Frances has weakened below Cat 4.......MGC

Is this a true weakening or an eyewall cycle?

Maybe the hurricane hunters need a bit more time to sample the environment.

It's pretty obvious on satellite that Frances went through an eyewall replacement cycle today. The eye is getting better defined again and she should wrap up quite nicely now. I fully expect a CAT 4 again tomorrow.
