Wilma to Affect South Florida on Monday

I am back, so here we go...

At 11PM Wilma is still a 140mph hurricane near Cancun. Min pressure is 932mb and moving NNW at a very slow 3mph. Part of the eye is over land so weakening is expected.

Models now seem to have a very good handle on the storm, especially after 24 hours. Now it asppears that Monday will be the day Wilma comes ashore in Florida. It should be just off shore the east coast at 8PM Monday according to the NHC.

This is what to look for tomorrow/Sunday if you are in south Florida. As the storm starts to move north get ready and as soon as there is an easterly component to the motion, NNE or NE, than Wilma should accelerate towards Florida.

With this timeline and should it hold true, watches/warnings should begin to be issued tomorrow since that will put us in the 48 hour window for tropical storm conditionds to begin.

Not to repeat myself again, tomorrow should give us a good glimpse of the future. Please check back then and we will see where she is.

Have a good night.
