Re: Prolonged Hurricane Force Winds Now Affecting Cancun

Someone mentioned earlier that the outflow seemed to be improving... looks that way to me as well. That will be a factor in favor of short-term intensification IF the inner structure of the storm is still intact when it emerges back over water, whenever that happens.
As it turns out, Wilma came dangerously close to stalling just near or off of the coast, which would have made things even worse for all involved. Thankfully, that didn't happen.
