I'm a little surprised to see JTWC going with a 55 kt intensity. 00Z DSHP, LGEM, and HWFI from 00Z were all about 45 kt or so. Maybe they see something they like to justify the above guidance numbers, which seems to be hinted in their discussion. Either that, or they're giving a lot of weight to the raw 18Z HWRF (63 kt).
In other news, looks like JMA is forecasting a 45 kt TS by 00Z tomorrow if the data in the a-deck is correct.
