Well, the sooner the better, so it can burn itself out earlier.

Mike - I presume that the increase in intensity correlates with the
increase in the D values?

Last picture for tonight (it's 2 AM in the morning here). I set the windspeed on 81 knots, assuming 80% of 101 knots flight level winds.

Yeah, and hopefully shear is going to be strong enough to rip this baby apart, when it gets closer to Florida. I got a lot of relatives in Miami, including my father.

AF plane fix scheduled at 1:00am EDT... should have just left Dobbins.

But the problems earlier may delay that.

Those members who live in the west Floridas coast from Cedar key to Tampa,Sarasota,Ft Myers,Port Charlotte and the rest of the coast you can see the plane that is heading to Wilma as it will fly all down the coast.

By the way, last night at 8 PM the pressure was 989 mb, tonight at 8 PM, it was 954 mb. That's 35 mb in 24 hours, or ~1.46 mb per hour! Talk about explosive cyclogenesis!
