Some independent meteorologists are saying that Rita is undergoing an eyewall replacement cycle and that she'll strengthen somewhat...

Count me as one of them. IR and water vapor imagery show increasing organization of the storm, and last recon showed that the pressure rises observed earlier have stopped. I suspect the inner wall is about to collapse, allowing the outer eyewall to take over. Once that happens, the gradient will tighten and the wind field will adjust, resulting in a ramping up of the winds.
