As mentioned by others earlier I think they'll keep it a 5 at this advisory. I think the recon hit the bullseye earlier today to find that tiny area of Cat 5 winds and since the pressure has remained steady since then I think there's a chance they missed that tiny area on this mission. Microwave shows that there may be a chance for an ERC before landfall so it likely won't be a 5 for all that much longer anyway, which is a tad bit of good news for CA but there's not any difference between a 130kt landfall or a 140kt landfall. What an impressive storm overall. For sure was a Cat 5 and may still be for a little while longer. Really praying for those folks about to experience their second Cat 4+ hit in 2 weeks...
