Another question: Do you think that the windfield will expand more than projected before landfall?




Max Mayfield answered that question on FNC about two hours ago. The answer is YES.

If it intensifies, the CDO/COC may even contract. This is hard to forecast though, so stay tuned to local media and local officials (NHC/TPC)

So there it is. I can't wait to see the vortex messages close to 2300. I think we could be looking at another Charley situation with an intensifying storm hitting between Bonita Springs and Fort Myers. The second cold front and the "dry air" and the "shear" does not seem to be intimidating Wilma one iota.




Exactly.... I've been trying to hammer this point, that she will be less adversely touched by these detriments because she is caught up in an in situ environment that is moving along with her - that is by definition storm relative shear, which in this case is exceptionally low in value... In otherwords, I see quite the alternative, pure, almost unmitigated strengthening potential right up to landfall - which is very, very ungood

This is exactly why I tried to post and tell people to prepare for +1 category from the NHC track. In fact, I did that this morning. So, there really is no excuse why people should not be prepared for a major hurricane (except, of course, for being stubborn and relying too much on a past hurricane's performance)

Everything is relative -- The intensification we have seen today is nothing like that of last Wed with the pressure dropping 100mb in 12 hrs

So far today the wind field has increased but no signif pressure change so far and forward speed is accelerating which will effectively increase wind speed on S of storm

A local friend who is much more knowledgable on this subject told me that the shear, if it's in the same direction the storm is moving will not affect nor deteriorate the storm alot unless it is at a super high velocity (above 30 kts I think is what he said). Is that true? Regardless, I think Wilma is going to be like Charley. Thank you for your posts and heads up on the behaviour of this storm.

when you say like Charley do you mean it might make a more southerly track?

It appears that Wilma is a solid Cat 3 now....Recon has just recorded flight level winds of 114knots

This cell is tracking rapidly to the N and has so far stayed inland off the beach

Appears so far to be isolated and not part of an extended band

After this passes at least for a few hours E central FL radar appears to be clear

No. More like defy the experts and do what it wants and intensify right before landfall.

Exactly - you're friend gets a gold star
Seriously, SRS - Storm Relative Shear is exactly what it sounds like... relativity... To the hurricane, the wind that is shear impactive may have the physical presents of say 5mph, which is generally not enough to inhibit strengthening. If Wilma was translating along at say...10mph, that physical presents becomes 10mph. If she were standing still, she'd be encounter all of the environmental wind field's capacity to impinge on her vertical structure, or 20mph... (I'm not saying the envir. field is 20mph - just a facsimile)... Anyway, her storm relative shear is quite low when she's already 15 or 16mph, because all the wind barbs I've seen since 00Z have been about 18kts... after conversion, she's in for what...6mph of shear... Nah, not gonna touch her.

I have been continuously watching this aforementioned link; http://www.erh.noaa.gov/radar/loop/DS.p20-r/si.kbyx.shtml and though I am not an expert, it looks like the SW portion of the eye wall is trying to contract even more

This might be a better satellite to see the more Northerly component evolving

http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT/gmex-ir4-loop.html

I hope your wrong Tip as I live in TB and that more Northerly component wouuld bring the hurricane force wind path into and North of my area. I do have to agree with you though, as it is a meteorologically sound call. But I hope you're wrong

Hey Lou, go back and read my post from 8:07pm.

You can see the spot where they found the 16C in the eye, on the wv image.

typhoon_tip you've been a huge help. Makes me wish that I was good at math so I could have been a met.

Well, let's hope the tornadoes let me get some sleep tonight. My weather radio is wearing me out. Recon seems to indicate the 2300 update will call for a Cat 3. I wonder, based on your discussion with me in these recent posts, if she has enough time to get up to the 130-135 mph range before landfall.

Some folks seem to think that an 84 degree SST is not enough to support those windspeeds. What do you think?
