I agree Scorpion. You should listen to 610 AM (the Schnitt Show). He has been talking to meteorologist regarding Wilma's path (Met from NWS office Ruskin and met from Local 10 Don Noe). I heard talk that maybe Wilma will not hit Mexico after all and retain most of its strength as it passes through the Yucatan Channel.

Yes, I am seeing some NNW movement- and hoping and praying
that this spares the Yucatan a direct catastrophic hit.
Sparing the Yucatan might be bad news for FL due to
lesser chance to weaken, but a CAT 5
into that area would just be horrific--> So I am praying
Wilma does not hit the Yucatan.

If this is the case, that also means a possible hit further north on the Florida coast.
I am starting to get really concerned... even if this thing
goes through the KEYS the rainbands that sweep through
the peninsula could knock out power 200 miles+ away from the center-
remember what happened with Hurricane Dennis as it stayed offshore
the FL West Coast and all the power outages that took place
along the west coas.

I'm not buying into that.
Not saying it can't happen, I think I see enough of a path for Wilma to keep on moving N and the NE with no stall at the Yucatan.
Seems we rely so much on the models and every six hours, there is another slight divergence which throws everyone into a tizzy.

Seems as though she might be a tad east of her next forecast point, IMO. Should be an interesting 5 pm advisory....

Ok folks let's not talk here about school things and let's return to talk about a very serious situation that Wilma may cause in Yucatan and in Florida.

I would like to ask if any one has seen the warm edds in the gulf. That is what I am going by and that it will be a strong 3 low 4 at land fall.
Look at the shear though ::

Increasing from 10-40+ knots (currently) between the Yucutan and Florida coast.
True But if she gets back up to a strong 5 and then hits the shear it is not going to bring her down that much that fast.. So a strong cat 3 to a weak 4
Well, those are some "IF's"

Click on that last check box on the upper right to compare it to the forecast points.
