Maybe I just missed it getting buried in the many posts, but I'm curious as to how long it'll take for someone to suggest that Wilma will skip across Florida, a high will build in, and it will go back to the East coast. :lol: We'll see. Actually, that scenario is just as likely as some I've heard on the net the last couple of days.

Well the new NHC forecast path if extrapolated on around seems to have Wilma scrape by Key West and then out into the Atlantic without greatly impacting mainland Florida.

Yes sir. I don't want to see what kind of surge SW winds from a big slow Cat 1 even can set up along the keys.

If she heads much further south she'll have a hard time curving around without getting torn to shreds in the mountains of Honduras or Nicaragua.

that forecast track has Wilma moving right through the metro areas, if you extrapolate it

The NHC forecast track is a south-central Florida peninsula hit; if extrapolated. :roll:

:eek: :eek: :eek:

I don't want to see any of my SW Florida neighbors (or anyone else for that matter) get a nasty visit from Wilma!

Keeping a vigilant watch here in Naples...

I thought so... I was like "scraping Key West"? Not unless it turns more beyond that...

CDO is starting to cover the center.

YUP...those cold cloud tops are beginning to fire real nicely around the center. It should begin to look pretty impressive in the next few hours.

Any chance that Wilma could follow a similar track to the Hurricane of Oct. 25, 1921 that affected the Tampa Bay area as the last major hurricane to hit here? Thoughts and comments welcomed.

18Z GFS run is coming out now - out to 54 hours so far.

Track has shifted back right a little bit - pretty much like the 6Z run so far.

18Z GFS at 78 hours: Crossing western tip of Cuba

Image

Position and synoptics almost identical to the 6Z run - main difference is the system is a little weaker in this run.
