Eye Contracting On Radar
I believe Emily could be entering a increasing intensification phase. The green eyewall bands are suddenly contracting into the center in rapid fashion.

It does look like a slight slowdown of a mile per hour or two is happening, but it is hard to say.
The eye no longer has that round look, but instead has the green eyewall bands diving into it and distoring it - which is a sign of intensification.
Any slowdown makes a preshore intensification more prolonged (if it happens).

Looks to be like a very impressive intensification phase going on according to the latest radar as you mentioned. Nice CDO showing up around the tight circular eye. If it keeps going at this rate, possibly cat 4 again?

using the radar to judge intensification is really difficult....IR sat gives a much better read on whats going on in terms of the core development....this...along with the recon reports points to a maintaining phase for the last several hours, not strengthening.

According to the most current satellite pics here, the storm is becoming more impressive. The core of the storm is getting better organized and the eye is more defined now as well. Here's a couple o' links...

Actually recon reports flight level winds have been getting increasingly higher each run, maybe a subtle difference, but there is an increase.
