They aren't flying at the surface...a reduction factor of 0.8 or 0.85 is needed to determine surface winds....

Did you not read the STDS from the TPC?
HOWEVER...THE POTENTIAL STILL EXISTS FOR THIS SYSTEM TO BECOME A
TROPICAL DEPRESSION AT ANY TIME DURING THE NEXT DAY OR SO...BEFORE
UPPER-LEVEL WINDS BECOME MORE UNFAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT ON
THURSDAY.
Upper-level wind becoming more unfavorable = increasing shear.
If you're sick and tired, maybe you should try some Tylenol and a nap.
