Re: 5 a.m.

I am not sure how they plot the tropical forecast points in relation to time. I had assumed that these were plotted in relation to the NHC advisory times, which are 08:00, 11:00, 14:00, 17:00...If this is the case, is not Wilma traveling faster than expected? Take alook at the following link and tell me if you think it is now over the 08:00 EDt expected point.
