Keeping Cool and Wilma

A few thoughts...

The storm is wobbling a little south of the NW line at the moment, not sure how long that will hold, but it should make for some more nervous jitters further north.

If it gets strong enough, I expect it to have a more difficult time turning, and some of those sharp right hand turns just won't be quite as sharp (as the storm will be strong enough to deflect the turning mechanisms), I hope everyone north of Tampa keeps an eye on the storm (which I suspect people will around here).

That being said, I suggest taking a bit of time this afternoon and next to relax and keep away from the computer and tracking these storms. After all, it's not going to change direction no matter how hard you stare at the pixels and you quite possibly will need the rest and fresh mind in the weekend ahead.

Wilma is looking better, the restricted NW quadrant is starting to build back, which tells me that either the dry air is being pushed back, or Wilma is able to absorb that blow.

Just my untrained thoughts...
