i have to say, that trough (the tail part to the south) sure doesn't look like its gonna pick up wilma any time soon.  although we are seeing the ridge breakup a bit on the northeast side of florida  (check out the wv loop http://hadar.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/trop_ge_wv_ls_0.html).  notice then on the vis loop cirrus shield being ripped upwards towards the area i just mentioned.  
  being in sarasota, i am starting to worry again.  will be keeping a very close eye on this thing in the next 24 hours.  this is critical --> the speed of wilma needs to slow down here this evening.  if not, my area could be in for hurricane force winds....

  It is way to early to tell if this is a trend or just a wobble. I don't think will no anything till tomorrow afternoon or friday night. 
 
 
  
  Understood, but I am dealing in a hypothetical here.
  IF it does move more N than forecast, then would it make sense that it makes it further N than forecast because it gets in the Gulf before the steering currents are there to take it East.
