Re: Wilma Continued

Our local met, Denis Phillips on ABC News TB, seems to really be buying into this becoming a non-event for central Florida.




This is becoming an increasingly more likely scenario. The slower Wilma moves, the lower the chance for a west-central--and even southwest--Florida landfall is. Wilma will be located at a lower latitude than previously thought when the westerlies set up in the GOM, thus pushing the track farther south than previously thought even though it will still recurve. I think it is entirely possible that all of peninsular Florida may miss a direct strike from this storm. However, with this said, please do not let your guard down anywhere in Florida. This is probably the most difficult forecast of the year, and the best we can do is wait and see.
