Re: Wilma Moving Northwest
|
Between the last recon fix about 8 hours ago and this one, the heading has been 315 degrees (straight NW).
Pressure up some, but FL winds support 130 knots, which would be up from the last advisory. Not unexpected, since the wind field has likely reconsolidated and is more in line with what you would expect from a 918mb storm. There still seem to be some fragments of the inner eyewall floating around inside the larger center. Those will have to be cleared out if Wilma is going to significantly reintensify.
