The water vapor transport into the circulation center is not as intense as with Matthew. As the circulation center/vortex increases it's water vapor content, the source is drying up rather than infusing as with Matthew. The sun's direct rays are heading south and the water vapor is following. 

Vigilance is still important. The heat in the troposphere is far too intense. The traditional hurricane season ends on November 1st, however, in recent years we have witnessed storms in December and January.
