Looks like JTWC went with 120 kt / 942 hPa for the 18z best track point, which is....a little low, I think. Some gradual weakening may have started around 1830z but the storm is still a solid T6.5 (LG eye surrounded by CMG) as far as I can tell; the eye has cooled, but the CDO has actually become more consistent over the past couple of hours.
