So where is she going? Is it a game of guessing and seeing where she decides to go. Right now the computer models have her going west but the NHC has her going over the Yucatan and then turning more N. I don't like that track because it brings it closer to my woods. Well I am off to teach and pray that the kids are not upset. They seem to get upset when there is a storm threatening the GOM. Many of the students were here during Ivan and a lot of them are from MS and LA and have memories beyound comprehension of Katrina. I guess that is why I wanting to know where she is going because they will be asking.

Its still very hard to say where Wilma will go. This is a very tough forecast. It appers wilma will become a significant storm around a cat 3 at least. Its still very difficult to say.

I would issue Tropical Storm warnings for the NE coast of Nicaragua as it has comed close for comfort to that country but I dont work at NHC.

yeah. Ive learned just to pay attention to just a few days at a time instead off way into the future. These models i think still dont have a handle on this sytem and everything is up in the air. The adv. this morn. was good there not shifting the track much because of the models jumping around and the extreme uncertinty.

One thing should be noted the center of Wilma is far south of the forecast points.

Moving now South at 5 mph means more left shift of the models.
