Hurricane Wilma - Cat. 5
Moderator: S2k Moderators
How long will Wilma's tiny eyewall last? Rita was able to get much stronger with a huge eyewall, and maintained Cat 5 intensity and reached a sub-900 pressure until there were concentric eyewalls. Rita could never organize itself well after that. Even when one eyewall was taking over, recon had reported that organization was poor. If Rita had come out of the ERC quickly, re-strengthening could have happened. If it's not long until Wilma undergoes an ERC, it might not bode well for her. By the time she sorts it out, she could be moving into less favorable conditions...

I'm noticing that... it's still going to make a sharp turn though. That's why I'm not completely buying this "skirt the tip of Florida" yet.
i agree, im not buying the florida straits right now...maybe it will plow into central america if it keeps up

Thats what I've been sticking with thus far...I don't buy the skirting the tip of Florida models. I think at the pace this storm is moving, and its continued westward movement, we'll see a landfall further north towards Tampa. I've been sticking with the GFDL for the most part so far.

ughhh
Just a few posts ago, I was saying not to worry as Wilma would likely be weakening as she neared the FL coast. Now SHIPS is at 129 knots (145-150 mph) just before landfall? And the GFDL actually seems to intensify her right before landfall, going from 110 knots to 121. Not sure why, but all I can say is "UGH."

I'm not buying it either Brent. Something is wrong. It would almost have to do a perfect U turn to "skirt" the tip.
This looks more and more like a Ft. Myers to Tampa event. And the further west it wobbles, that's not good for moi.
