the cycle takes sometime to happen... it appears to be a slow process.... now that it is almost finished, that is why the increase to 135mph... 140-145mph is not a stretch by the end of the day.... it will have several more cycles before landfall...

glad to see it is passing to your north... another close call..

High resolution visible satellite image centered over Puerto Rico. This is awesome...just wish it were longer.

Another close up IR Loop. Looks like it took a little WNW jog for a second before returning west.
