Re: Another Look

Clark - i was wondering the same thing and also, get this. The GFDL run 18z shows a higher wind speed once over the Fla peninsula than it does just before landfall in Lee County. I think the knots are 109 prior to landfall and then the model shows 121 when Wilma is crossing the state. That's weird!

Please feel free to check my numbers they may not be exact, but i do know that the wind speed was less while still over water and more once the eyewall was totally over land.
