I cannot confirm this and hope another Houston-Galveston poster can verify what Dr Neil supposedly stated this morning. According my co-worker Dr Neil stated Wilma will enter the GOM and head straight N to LA.

if that happens... Wilma would be lucky to still be a Cat 1 by landfall.
Air temps next week are forcast to be low 60's at night... looks like
wilma will likely peak way before landfall if she heads north...

Can't confirm that since I didn't see Dr. Neil, but Wes Hohenstein(Ch 2-Accuweather)stated that we need to watch Wilma closely because the models are trending her into the Central and W GOM. I must agree we need to watch her(we need to watch any disturbance in the GOM!!!!), but I felt like he was hyping more than anything. I will be watchig to see what Dr. neil says this evening for sure!!

I know may of you don't like JB but I kind of like the guy. So, no bashing for asking the following question please....

Anyone knows what his predictions are so far for landfalling area?

Norcross tonight -

The jet stream is supposed to dip and drive Wilma in the general direction of the peninsula as long as the storm strengthens and the high to its east nudge it up towards the Yucatan channel.

FYI - Some of the FL peninsula is back in the 5 day cone :roll:

And whoever is in its path Good Luck. Stay Safe. and GET out if its a Major and Coming your way.

Last thing I saw concerning JB was yesterday when he was calling for a direct hit by a major on Tampa. Don't know what he's saying today he flips like the models.
