THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER IS WELL NORTHWEST OF THE REMAINING CONVECTION...WHICH MAY BE ASSOCIATED WITH A MID-LEVEL CENTER. THE LOW-LEVEL CENTER APEPARS TO BE MERGING WITH A FRONTAL ZONE EXTENDING EAST-NORTHEASTWARD FROM A LOW OFF OF THE NORTHEASTERN COAST OF THE UNITED STATES...AND COLD AIR AND A COLD FRONT ARE PRESENT SOUTHEAST OF WILMA. THE INITIAL INTENSITY OF 75 KT IS BASED ON A SATELLITE INTENSITY FROM TAFB AND RESPECT FOR THE RAPID MOTION. THE INITIAL MOTION IS 040/46. WILMA SHOULD TURN EASTWARD AT A REDUCED FORWARD SPEED UNTIL THE SYSTEM DISSIPATES IN 72-96 HR. THE LARGE-SCALE MODELS LOSE WILMA FASTER THAN THIS...SO THERE IS A POSSIBILITY DISSIPATION COULD OCCUR EARLIER. THIS IS THE LAST ADVISORY ON WILMA FROM THE NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER.
