Sounds like I just might have to suspend reality for a couple hours then.

Add me to the 'wanting to know about a NE US Superstorm' list too...what is that about?
To: PennsylvaniaMom; Brad's Gramma; brivette
Short version of the "NE US Superstorom" theory-
Some of the tracks had been suggesting that Wilma will merge with a storm coming off the Great Lakes this weekend, sort of like The Perfect Storm back in 1993 (I may be off by a year on the date). Indeed, today's 11 am discussion makes a mention of this. I will note that the models that suggested this are now suggesting that Wilma becomes the daughter of Mitch and make a lengthy detour through the Yucatan.

I'd recommend it. You'll be freaking over Wilma after you do LOL.

I went out to lunch after monitoring Wilma all morning, came back and did a Scooby Doo! What IS this?

Mitch's track.
Mitch was a Cat 5 in almost the exact same area.

Is this the "cold front" pushing Wilma eastward? And, when they meet... then what?

What IS this? Another anomaly in a year of anomalies? Wish I could give a better answer.

The airframe is designed to handle airflow at speeds much higher than a hurricane produces*smacks head* D'oh! :)
You're right, of course. I don't know why I didn't think of that. Thank you for your reply.
To: tutstar
I grabbed a few hours, missing the 8 am intermediate advisory (the one that put the pressure at 882 mb by combining the 884 mb measurement and the contemporary 881 mb extrapolation).
I think I will take a break. There's a tree in the neighbor's yard that's fire-engine red, and what Wilma might run into Monday will leave things cold and wet up here this weekend.

Joe Bastardi on Hannity says the jet stream is going to grab the storm and move it. SW Fla coast to take the worst of it. Orlando will get weather similar to Jeanne and Francis. The swath of stronger winds will be wider than Charley. About 150 miles to the north of it. Furthermore, he feels the storm will come in Sunday or Sunday night. He thinks it will still be in the Yucatan Peninsula Saturday morning. He is to be on Hannity later tonight I think. Ft. Myers and south is probably going to get the worst of it, he said.

BREAKING NEWS___I just heard that the hurricane may turn WEST now instead of EAST towards Florida. They are going to have a news conference in a few minutes. (Heard this on Schnitt show)

My guess was for it to wander NNW for about 12 hours, then turn NE.
