Did you ever look up the steer from the mid-atlantic, This storm is going to lose the gulf stream now, but get influenced by the jet stream. I don’t see any factor that would allow maintaining or strengthening.
It's actually having its outflow enhanced by the jet stream.
Not surprising, but that will shear it. The winds that I was concerned about seem to be much less than anticipated as the eye has collapsed. 110 is a heck of a lot more than 65. :^)
