Crunch time is coming. Is the turn happening ? How much of a turn?

I don't see it turning that much

It is starting to feel a bit of a tug, IMO. This image also shows a significant expansion of strong convection (red colors) and a clearing eyewall as it slowly gains separation from Cuba. The slow forward speed is NOT good as it gives Irma more time to intensify.
