Re: Category 3 Wilma, Strengthening, Moving Rapidly Toward Florida

They bumped the winds up a little to 120 mph. I assume they are questioning whether those readings are representative of the intensity and whether they will persist.
Also, there was this from the latest advisory:
THE PREVIOUS POSITION ESTIMATE WAS A LITTLE TOO FAR TO THE EAST.
AT 3 AM EDT...0700Z...THE LARGE EYE OF HURRICANE WILMA WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 25.1 NORTH... LONGITUDE 82.8 WEST OR ABOUT
75 MILES WEST-NORTHWEST OF KEY WEST FLORIDA AND ABOUT 95 MILES
SOUTHWEST OF NAPLES FLORIDA.
