It is frustrating for the public to have stagnant information relative to life altering weather events. We have become an information hungry and driven society. I am sure it is even more frustrating for these weather professionals not to be able to provide a continous flow of factual information.
In the case of Wilma, the storm has gone from a minor tropical storm to the most significant Atlantic tropical cyclone (meteorlogically) in history in a 36 hour period. Now we have a storm that is not performing as was anticipated. The information is not fresh and stimulating but is now rather boring.
The watching of and waiting for these storms stimulates our senses as long as something is happening. When the dynamics slow down we loose interest. DON'T !!
What I hear the mets say is this: Do not turn your back on this storm. Make and complete your plans now. When Wilma begins to move toward Florida the movement will be sudden, deliberate and things will change over a matter of hours, not days. Wilma is at this point like a snake in the grass waiting to strike and when she does it may be deadly.
Just my thoughts and ramblings. Be smart. Be safe.
