Leslie is looking well put together tonight. Has the storm finally stacked vertically? The outflow is not that obvious on the colored infrared satellite. With the forward speed at just 3mph it is showing a potential to increase in intensity. The shear does not seem as great tonight as in the recent past either.

The LLC is still on the southern side of the convection, so it is still tilted vertically. The shear is relaxing in the region and with the slow forward movement, Leslie could be getting its act together in the next few days.

It would seem that Leslie is now a 75mph hurricane according to the NHC. So will she get stronger?

The NHC forecast is for Leslie to strengthen to very near Cat 3 strength within 3 days as it moves generally northward affecting Bermuda. Looking at the satellite loops this afternoon, Leslie does appear to have strengthened and become vertical with convection now wrapped around the LLC. In the current low shear environment, yes, Leslie will become better organized and strengthen.
