Some areas of Florida have gotten a lot of rain lately. It's not a problem for me, but some areas already have saturated soil and may see some fresh water issues.
Seems like NHC was kind of looking forward to that recon data too:
"Subsequent NHC forecasts can assess the new reconnaissance and model data that will be coming in later tonight, and determine if an increase in the intensity forecast and the issuance of a hurricane watch or warning is required."
But again, they do have radar data now which they led off with in the discussion.
