No, I don't think it will make a sudden shift like Charley. Charley was moving slower than Wilma is now, and she is only expected to keep chugging along at a good rate of speed. Most mets (TV mets) have agreed that it's pretty much a straight shot with not a lot of deviation in track...of course they have to add that it *might* happen, but I think they are talking only about a fews miles left or right.




Hi Colleen,
You should pay attention to the radar imagery here:
http://www.erh.noaa.gov/radar/loop/DS.p20-r/si.kbyx.shtml ....Particularly, take note of the last 2 or 3 frames in that loop... I'd have to say a fairly distinguishable NNE jog is underway... Obviously, vastly too soon to determine the significants of this.. Also, I'm under the impression that the eye wall has indeed contracted... I need to be away for an hour; returned with a fresh point of view, and even in these frames it seems that could be taking place...
