SFMR (within the NOAA Plane) is indicating 100 mph surface winds in the NE quad.

ED RAPPAPORT just said in CBS4 that NOAA plane found 100 mph surface winds in the NE.
He said that they were expecting higher winds in the SW

The Southern half might be the strongest, so maybe she's up to 105 mph.

She could be. NOAA plane will go to the southern half shortly...

That makes a lot of sense. If they found 100 mph winds on the north side and she's moving at 12 mph, that would mean that she might have have 124 mph winds on the south side.

No, that wasn't a wind report. Wrong column.

Yeah, sorry again about that. Didn't know how to convert it. I should have known as the SFMR was nowhere near it.

Seems as if Wilma's movement is starting to speed up, and also a bit on a more southern track?

4PM discussion should be intresting.

Yeah... this is looking like an Everglades landfall with an exit in Broward County. Miami and the Keys are going to get nailed.

Click on the vis link here then overlay trop forecast points and you will see it is right smack on top of the NHC 11 am track.

Exactly what I wanted to say Brent : Keys will "love" this one, and I really don't think there will be much weakening until landfall. A cat3 is really possible. Anyone has information about storm surge ? How high ?

Josh glad you said it and not me. :lol: I was thinking the exact same thing. When we stare at a sat for so long our eyes play tricks on us.

Not necessarily a more southern track. Plot of recon. fixes:

If anything, the latest fix showed a slight bump north (probably due to the increased tilt with height if anything else). All in all, straight down the NHC forecast track thus far.

The next 24 hours will be key in determining where landfall will happen in Florida.

:wink: LOL
