Will Hector make CAT 3?

It's my informal observation that recently any storm that intensifies to Category 2 will continue to intensify at least to Category 3. Hurricane Hector may be attempting to challenge this. Right now Hector is a Category 2 hurricane with 105 mph winds. He is also predicted to be close to his peak intensity right now. It would take only a small round of intensification, however, to put Hector into Category 3 in the next 12 hours. If he doesn't make it during that window, then the weakening trend will have begun, and Hector will have proven me wrong.
