I took my time writing this and did so very thoughtfully... Initial intensity is quite uncertain, but is of little importance; the storm should weaken a bit this afternoon. A Category Five is maintained for another two days; although fluctuations are likely, and how maximum winds will react is unknown. Track is still near Naples, but anyone in southern and central Florida should monitor this carefully. I will say that I'm a bit concerned about a west-east track just before it reaches Florida rather than the northeastward motion--anyhow see discussion for details otherwise I could go on writing forever.
