IR loop shows rapidly cooling cloud tops and it's expanding.

And she probably is beginning a strengthening cycle since she is in a good postion to do so. The Yuc peninsula will do little to inhibit this since the majority of the circulation is over very warm waters.

She does look better organized than she did late last night. What happened to the upper low? Is it out of the picture now?
