Look at the air moisture content around Jeanne; we're looking at 30mm to 40mm precipitable water to the northwest of the storm and WV shows some possible entrainment.
Be interesting to see how this one plays out...
I'm just noticing something (dry air)

She has been amidst dry air for the last several days. Last evening she looked really sick for a while, now she looks much better.
You can see from the nice symmetric structure that there is no shear and she is reasonably well ventilated. If there was no dry air and warmer water, she would have been already Cat4, her structure is definitively well organized.

Agreed clueless, I think the dry air has been her issue all week regarding intensity, and the only reason shes not a monster. Having said that, it looks like the dry air is beginning to be filtered out. Shes creating a flow of moisture laden air from her to South Carolina. As long as she stays in that I would see little reason for intensity to decrease.
