Hard to say for sure since we can't get a visual sat pic at night, but from the IR image, it looks like it could be getting a bit stronger. It has also begun a slight NE swing, still 200 miles or so south of Hatteras. It's possible it could come up this way over water for the whole ride, and that water is piss warm right now. It ran into some dry air today which caused the weakening. Pressure held steady most of the afternoon, and in fact, dropped one mb in the 8 PM readings.

The outer rain bands from this will be over MV and Nantucket overnight, and here on the Cape by mid-morning, from the looks of it. The hurricane warnings now extend to Sagamore Beach--right down the road from me.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.
