WHERE, OH WHERE, WILL WILMA GO???

Most of the weather folks are in general agreement that what will soon be Hurricane Wilma will eventually affect Florida. The five day track's "centre line" has her crossing the state south of Fort Myers and exiting near Miami/Fort Lauderdale, but the "bubble" that we've become urged to pay more attention to has Wilma coming onshore anywhere except the western Panhandle.

The discussion from the National Hurricane Centre site predicts highest sustained wind of 100 knots per hour (115.2 MPH) within 48 hours. That would put Wilma as a Catagory 3 storm on the Saffir-Simpson scale. However, some slight weakening is possible before landfall as a large trough heads east across the USA.

Check your hurricane prepardness plans to be on the safe side, and keep a close watch on this storm.
