I think it's a little late to hope for it not to organize at this point. This flareup is impressive as can be, and I don't think this is just another flare-and-die-down cycle.

She is nasty. I am nervous models are shifting back to me. I find it scary that two models I think remained the same on hitting Tampa from the start. Then the two that when crazy still came back to west coast. I still think its going that way I like I thought earlier.

When will it start moving more westnorthwest or nw.

I'm basing this on climatology! I'm going w/ a path between Fl Straits and Ft. Myers. The Big Bend to Panhandle path, I think the troughs won't allow Wilma that far N, and for Tampa hurricanes don't like Tampa. Scientific data is always better for tracking, but these storms more times than not take common paths. IMHO

convective burst is not going to last much longer. Nice large outflow boundary on the nroth side

this has about 24 more hours before it really gets going

They're going to have to reposition the floater to the south if this motion keeps up.

For me the models are out the window for now and it's wait and see. I don't see any indication of NW motion as the dry air just pours in over cuba and the yucatan.

Between the recon at 20:30z last night and today's nhc 1500z the storm has moved 100mi ssw..

12Z GFS run is starting. Initialization looks reasonable - has the center at bout 17N 80W or so, with what looks like a good representation of the mid and upper air setup.

Forecast frames should start rolling out in a little bit.

Grrrrrrrr.. :lol: :lol:

I don't see landfall that far South. Wilma would have to make some sharp turn. Hey, anything is possible.

I don't think that there won't be much change in the models may be a little to the left.

Slightly south of the 6Z run's position at 12Z tomorrow:

It's a little slower breaking down the mid-level ridge in the western Gulf, though ...

Would this current SW movement change the endgame or does it just change the angle of the forecasted "turn"?

Out to 54 hours now:

Still ever so slightly SW of the 6Z track. Also, a little weaker.
