Re: Wilma Approaching the Yucatan Peninsula

Recent dropsondes in the SE and NE eyewalls reported 128 kt and 110 kt surface winds, respectively. Surface winds from the dropsondes are consistently showing up as slightly stronger than flight-level winds, though whether the dropsonde obs are representative of sustained winds or gusts is open to speculation.
Wilma appears to have essentially stalled in the last 1-2 hours.
