There isn't much difference between a strong tropical storm and a weak hurricane, but I know that forecasters like to maintain consistency in their public products if at all possible.
The latest recon fix reported 82 knot winds at 988 mb from the dropsonde, which is near the surface. Assuming that they consider that to be representative (and not some sort of small-scale feature), it likely will be a hurricane again.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
