The computer models don't look to be going up to the north, Bamm was just ran and it is the exact same, if anything the storm will move more south of florida because it has yet to make that definite turn to the north as lyons said on the WTC. I'm just hoping that this storm goes south of florida and out to sea.
Exactly! But, also the further West Wilma moves before turning to the North (and eventually NE) the farther North the track will be
Let me explain myself. Lets say Wilma turns more NNW and brushes the southern tip of Cuba and the turns NE. It would then probably stay in the Florida Straights based on the angle.
Now, if Wilma stays more Westerly and brushes the Yucitan Penninsula and the turns N to NE it could hit anywhere from Punta Gorda to Cedar Key.
So the bottom line is that any body living on the west coast of Florida should be preparing for a Cat 2/ Cat 3 hurricane.
