I have a question... why does the projected path veer so far to the east, whereas if you project out the curve of the actual path, it would head north-by-northwest?

Almost all of the computer models are showing a moderate-to-severe recurve to the northeast once she gets past Cuba. From what I understand, that's typical of late-season hurricanes (I'm too tired to even attempt a more in-depth explanation).

There is a storm front (low pressure front) currently over the west coast of the USA that is expected to move rapidly to the east during the week and meet up with Wilma on Friday or Saturday. The NHC forecast models predict this storm front will steer Wilma to the northeast.
