I'm reading that Wilma is growing in intensity now that she has exited Florida. Where is she headed now and how strong do you think she's going to be? Here in Boston I'm a bit concerned... Thanks for any input/guesses/predictions you may have!

An upperlevel trough will help induce strong surface cyclogenesis just offshore, which, in combo with Wilma, will make the seas very rough. The extratropical low will produce very windy and wet conditions across much of the northeast, including some potentially heavy snow inland.

CNN weathergal just mentioned the probability of these elements creating a noreaster; she got excited when she mentioned the term "perfect storm".

There are winter storm watches all across the inland Northeast, up to 6 inches above 1500 feet expected.

Wind advisories all along the coast , and coastal flood watches along the Jersey Coast are up.

I would not be surprised to see higher snowfall totals.

Wilma's legacy isn't over yet. She won't make direct contact with the CONUS anymore, but the indirect contact will be messy.

We've had a lot of rain here today from the moisture streaming up the trough from her.

Besides Wilma, has any other single Atlantic Hurricane become a major hurricane (cat 3+) 3 times in his/her life? (the same storm in the same season, not the name reused)

She just got excited because she saw me on the computer

Not sure, but it doesn't seem too remarkable, so probably yes.

Well I am certainly keeping an eye on it given some of the models. Could be another system to head this way this year.
