Re: Wilma Becomes Category FIVE

High pressure in mid-levels of the atmosphere across the central and western Gulf of Mexico has actually expanded some according to upper air data gathered by a high flying NOAA aircraft. This data suggests that the upper level ridge is a bit stronger and that explains why Wilma has been moving more west than north during the night. Was this expected or unexpected according to NHC?
