Further strengthening is possible today while the shear remains 
low-to-moderate.  However, all of the models do show increasing 
shear by tonight, and the NHC forecast continues to call for 
weakening of Eta as it approaches the west coast of Florida.  
However, it would take only a small forecast error to allow Eta to 
come ashore as a hurricane, and hence a Hurricane Watch has been 
issued this morning.  Rapid weakening is anticipated once Eta makes 
landfall, and strong shear should prevent any regeneration over the 
western Atlantic Ocean. The new forecast is a little higher than 
the previous advisory, mostly due to current trends, and is closer 
to the more bullish HMON and HWRF models.

I have had only one and one half cups of coffee so I’m in no position to criticize but HUH?

“To allow”

“Hence”

“A little higher”

Certainly seems so.
