A 10C diff is rare. Shows she's being very efficient warming her core relative to her surroundings. Pressure has been surprisingly steady, but given the environment she's in and the current state of her core, she's primed for intensification. Surface winds are already up to 120 kts and the AF305 recon has FL winds up to 135 kts.
She's been working hard to clear her eye out on sat. If she keeps it up, I see no reason why she shouldn't be a borderline cat 5 by morning.
