It seems to my very untrained eye that the forecast predictions on track for Wilma have not been terribly accurate so far. The last advisory had her at 7 m.p.h. NW and expected to continue that for next 24 hours, but satellite imagery sure suggests that she has a much more westerly component than north right now. Also, the models seem to have bounced around a bit, at least in the short term. Bottom line is that this is somewhat reminiscent of Mitch and the lesson is to expect the unexpected, as the saying goes.

Would not be surprised to see the forecast path change a bunch between now and same time tomorrow so those with cruises and ball games (see above posts) obviously need to keep an eye on things but I don't know that I'd change plans much right now based on what we THINK we know so far.
