The 12Z DeepMind run is even faster and more intense. As many have pointed out, a faster storm puts it in a more favorable jet configuration for intensification. A lot of the jet energy is still out West and isn’t well sampled due to the lack of NWS balloon launches this morning.

12Z google DeepMind for 92L shows a faster landfall that mostly occurs Friday evening. Many more members show a peak intensity well before landfall as a major hurricane as well.
