Re: Tropical Storm Alpha Forms in the Eastern Caribbean. Hurricane Watches Up For Florida

maddie,

Of course, No one wants to uproot the NHC's position on the landfall. Right now they think it will be a Category 2 on the Saffir-Simpson scale, with winds of up to 114 MPH.

Also, in the latest discussion:

"WILMA SHOULD MAKE LANDFALL IN FLORIDA AS A CATEGORY TWO
HURRICANE...ALTHOUGH THERE IS SOME CHANCE IT COULD HIT AS A
CATEGORY THREE."

Preparation for a 2-3 would be wise, depending on where you live. Always heed the advice of local officials, and keep it locked on your local radio/news program for more information on your area's effects from Wilma
