Those are the 00z models....BUT it includes ALL the models. Most of those models are garbage. I just post them because some people like seeing the full spaghetti plot now and then.

Can we at least get one thing straight here. I keep hearing 'a strong storm like this can't make a sharp turn'. Thats just plain wrong. There is no way this thing is gonna punch thru the trough when it comes, and it will turn Wilma on a dime. Only question is where is the trough going to be. What angle is the frontal boundary going to be at, and where does it intersect the coast of florida. The storm will be making landfall right south of the boundary period.

It may be my eyes, but I don't think it does look different. The spaghetti models just has a lot more models plotted so it's harder to see the same ones as the other map plots. But, I could be wrong too :wink:

Wilma lasted 18 hours as a category 5 (20.5 hours if you go by the special 2:30 AM EDT update the NHC issued)... how does that stack up to the other classic cat 5s?

You're correct :) The main models are the same, but it's hard to see with all the other noodles. :D

Simply amazing how it has remained a sub 900mb hurricane! I believe she will begin to bottom out again in the latter part of morning or afternoon. Once ERC is completed, the pressure stands a good chance of going below the 882mb she had earlier.

80 kts, gusting to 100 kts right on top of me. If that panned out it sure would beat anything we have seen here in decades.

Is it me or does that :uarrow: Sat. point look a bit further south? Yeah, yeah, don't focus on the point, I get that, but I'm just curious.

Definitely time to go to bed and away from the computer though LOL

Looks like they are forecasting this to come back to a Category 5...am I reading this correctly?

Is it possible for a storm to accelerate that fast up the east coast?
What does that do to the storms internal structure? Just curious.

The distance between the 96hr and 120hr points is 938 statute miles, meaning it's forecast to go 39mph.
