Re: C'mon! Lets hear those landfall predictions!

Used to fret every season. Not anymore.

Looking at winds shows west side of Wilma has north winds from canada (cold) , sw from pacific, and se from carribean. Bad set up. My theory is that cold air compresses the warm air, making it rise - just like a cold front. The storm is being warmly fed from the se carribean - notice the storms & wv to the east. That will continue.

Other winds - high pressure over fla will keep Wilma from moving east. N winds will keep her from moving north. She will sit and spin for a day or two, then most likely dissipate. There is a hole between the N winds and the E winds at the frontal boundary that Wilma could enter, but if it doesn't do it by 5 o'clock today it will be blocked. If it makes that hole, it will ride the boundary taking it awful close to Tampa by mid-morning sunday.

I hope she dissipates in place.
