The black (or gray if you insist ) is back. On the 1145z IR image... Wilma looks like a cake doughnut with the center not quite punched out yet. Extremely symmetrical, with the deepest convection (gray - and even a tiny spec of WHITE - on an IR IMAGE!!! - in the south semicircle). Yet the 8am advisory said the winds were down to 145. Maybe so, but they won't stay down much longer.
