Today a shopper at WAL-MART told me WILMA is gonna collide with the" trough-thing" and split apart into a hurricane and a tropical storm.

Now you want to talk about wishcasting...thats just not possible as the trough and Wilma cannot interact to that degree. As you said earlier, Wilma has the front running back to GA, but that can't last long as that low over the Ohio valley is racing South which will provide "back up" and again force the what is now a warm front back South which will the revert it back into a cold front. If that makes sense
