Wilma looks like it is intensifying fairly rapidly to me. However, I notice the NHC wind speed projections level the storm off after a couple of days. This is apparently due to the expected influence of the front in the latter period.




I just don't know... looking at Wilma right now, it appears to be moving almost due west again. Experts say that the delay in the northward jog will ultimately put the storm further south along the coast of Florida (or even in the Keys or below), but what if the currently-expected trough MISSES Wilma completely? This would cause the storm to continue moving west, or maybe WNW, into the Yucatan and ultimately the BOC, wouldn't it?
