I think the knots are 109 prior to landfall and then the model shows 121 when Wilma is crossing the state. That's weird!

I'm not a MET, but I would think that the wind speed increase you are seeing could possibly be due to a pressure gradient interaction with the cold front in the area.
That could change some of the impacts from the wind.
