This will be upgraded to a category 5 at 5 pm right?
BTW, do you think the NHC is feeling more concerned about this storm than it has any other storm since Floyd or....even Andrew?
How well do you think NHC forecasters (who don't have to work overnight) are sleeping knowing this storm is out there?
Cat 5 for sure at 5 pm right?

Cat 5 for sure!!!
SirCane I think she is a cat 5 for sure. If not, then I'm getting out of the hurricane tracking business, O.K. maybe I won't go to that extreme.

Cat 4
Probably they will call it a Cat 4 with 135kt winds at 4pm CDT, though it may well be a Cat 5 now. The NHC may wait for recon tomorrow. Here's a new shot of it using McIDAS:
