Looking at the latest visibles, Wilma appears to be nearing the NE tip of the Yucatan, and is moving slightly faster now, though still very slow to the NNE. Rain bands are beginning to strengthen & build to the E and NE again, and I would not be surprised to see her strenghten to a low end Cat 3 again during the next 24 hours before she begins a weakening trend towards the Florida SW coast. Think the NHC forecast is right on track with a Naples-Ft Myers area hit and being at a high end Cat 1 or low end CAT 2 at landfall IMHO. Hope everyone in S. Fla is taking this seriously as I think there will be a large area of tropical force winds with Hurricane gusts in addition to the direct path area with sustained CAT 1 or 2 winds. TG |
