This is still a hurricane, although barely. It will still restrengthen though, we just have to give it time for the core to get its act together, like Dennis did.

djtil wrote:984 is borderline trop storm/hurricane.........will be interesting to get recon winds.....before landfall wind/pressure ratio was very high.
I would think the 75 mph winds is what recon reported, remember they get the info before we do, and since they have a pressure and center fix, I assumed they got the max winds as well.

That is exactly what I thought (I hesitated posting to verify my recollection...)
Hard to see how that kind of structure will enable her to do much of anything strengthening-wise.
