Ya know, even though this is a very powerful storm, it is also an unusually large one for its power. So am wondering, could we see some weakening right before the eyewall reaches the city simply because the north and west side of a notable amount of the storm will by then be over land, some of which is more than just swampland?

I think we're already seeing weakening due to part of the storm being over land now. Hard to say how much or how soon...we still have a while till landfall and with it slowing down, potentially even longer.
That's a double edged sword though.
Longer means more weakening, but also more opportunity for water to pile up against the coast in front of the storm.
