I think Wilma hasn't had much time to build a massive surge. However, if her windfield expands....

For your first question... too early to tell, IMO.
For your second... it's tightening up... expect further strengthening.

Since the track forecast right now is for a cat 3 or so hurricane to be quite close to the runway at 2 pm Saturday, good chance you won't be.

thank you


The eye being so small could that be good news since her windfield of extreme strength would be so small? Am I correct in that or do you expect the windfield to expand in time?

Here we go, this could be a historic pass. I would not be surprised to see 200+ MPH FL winds.

How can it possibly tighten up any more than 2nm? I mean, the tornado that flattened Hallam, Nebraska was wider than that.

I just had a chill when I read Hallam. That cell was 30mi away from me headed directly toward me.

Umm... very minute tightening. 1.75mi, 1.5mi...
