Re: Tropical Storm Wilma Forms in the Western Caribbean

The sat images are beginnig to show the erosion of the ridge to the SW on the northern reaches of the circulation. As a result several things are happening: the storm is wrapping the east moisture around better and new convection on the SW is building and holding. More banding is on the west and SW. Strengthing is occurring.
Also the SW motion has been replaced with westerly or even slightly N of due west...
