Irma still displaying a super impressive display, amazing to see a storm north of the Caribbean be SO strong for such a long period of time.
My guess is it may struggle to stay as a 5 when it makes its closest approach to Haiti/DR as the circulation may well draw in some drier air and get its flow somewhat disrupted by Hispaniola. May not be much but even a small amount can weaken a 5.
Absolutly historic hurricane that is for sure and my guess is it will go down as one of the all timers that will be remembered (like Andrew, Katrina and Harvey) and to get TWO canes in that sort of bracket makes this also a surreal season.
PS, Irma is all day long a 5 still!
