‘The storm is now low end cat 3.’

Thank you for the update.

As I always understood it hurricanes build power in the water and lose power over land. Why isn’t it building up power I wonder?

Has to be completely over warm water to gain strength. The land does not have the required moisture. Even the salt water spray from the wind is part of the mix by contributing nuclei. Running parallel to the coast like it is doing will surely weaken it. The rate of weakening may vary.
