970mb is indicitive of a strong Cat 1 storm. Right now Wilma is acting like a weak cat 1, but her form is continually improving. Lets watch the pressure falls becuase that's more indicitive of what the future will bring than the wind data.
As for it moving west, it's hard to know for sure if there has been any due west movement becuase we've had so few recon's on her so far, however, her latest recon is well west of the predicted NHC track. It will be interesting to see how tonight's models adjust for this difference - unfortunately I don't think the recon made it in time for the early evening models. http://www.sfwmd.gov/org/omd/ops/weather/vortex.html
