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?

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center.
