I think it will strenthen again before landfall.
I thought it might too, but that IR satellite loop shows a big swath of blue cutting into the left side of the storm... We can all hope it gets weaker.
I'd be a bit surprised now. The ocean shelf is very shallow in that part of the Gulf, and there's probably not enough depth for their to be significant strengthening before landfall. The window for strengthening is probably just about closed.
Someone posted an image, or a link back a bit. The satellite image showed it was quite asymetric already. I think it's being broken up now and will simply slow down from now on. It needs that symetry to power up, or warmer water, but...
