Recent observations show fluctuating convection around the center of a hurricane. Wind shear has affected the storm's core, leading to less definition in certain areas. Intensity estimates vary, with some indicating a decrease from earlier in the day. A weather station on an island reported sustained winds of around 55 kt and a peak gust of 76 kt.

Further details about the storm's current state are available from the National Hurricane Center.

Intensity estimates range from 66 to 81 kt, according to some sources. A microwave pass earlier depicted a compact center of circulation.
