Re: Tropical Storm Wilma Forms in the Western Caribbean

I think we have a misunderstanding... the 12Z GFS brings Wilma into the Yucutan Channel between the Yucutan peninsula and Cuba, with the center coming close to but staying just east of the Yucutan peninsula. It never goes into the Bay of Campeche.
After about 90 hours, Wilma makes a hard right turn in the 12Z GFS (sharper than the previous run), passes very close to Key West at around 138 hours, and then moves into the Everglades region of SW Florida, passing over the Miami area before heading into the Atlantic at about 150 hours.
