whoops......actually it was Gilbert.

"The aircraft reports that the central pressure is falling rapidly... and Wilma is expected to
become a major hurricane later tonight or on Wednesday."

I've never seen the NHC say anything like that in a public advisory. They've said it in discussions before, but in a public advisory they are usually less dramatic.

I must say, if you move Wilma a bit further north, you pretty much have a satellite signature like Gilbert.
