However, I think it is still possible for it to possibly slowly come back a bit by redeveloping consolidating convection a bit, especially since shear - although high at 30KT to 40KT - is slowly decreasing. Other than that, it's still in the ITCZ, and I don't see much else going for it.

I agree it's getting sheared a good bit, but vis sat loop shows it's separating from ITCZ and has very good twisting. I'm not gonna say it has a closed circ yet but it's close.
