No, it is not forecasted to lose strength. It is forecast to gain strength, but not much. Look for sustained winds to be at 140 mph when Frances makes landfall.

I wouldn't bet on it losing strength before landfall. The CAT 2 at landfall may be point at the loss of wind speed once it's overland and not so much before landfall.

The NHC expects it to be a Cat 4 at landfall. They said so in the 5pm discussion. I think best case would be a Strong 3 right now.

Yeah, Mother Nature will always have the upper hand. Guess she likes to remind us of that every so often.

I agree, this seems to me to be the most unpredictable hurricane I have experienced.
