This is unbelievable
AT 7 AM CDT...1200Z...THE CENTER OF HURRICANE WILMA WAS LOCATED
INLAND OVER NORTHEASTERN YUCATAN NEAR LATITUDE 21.0 NORTH...
LONGITUDE 87.0 WEST
At 7 PM CDT...0000z...the center of Hurricane Wilma was located near
latitude 21.6 north... longitude 87.0 west
It's unbelievable in one way, I can't imagine having one park overhead for that long, but predictable in another.
When they pass from the sub-tropics, where the prevailing winds are east to west, into the temperate zone, where the prevailing winds reverse, they often sit, undecided, until something comes along to give them a push and get them moving again. Stalls at or near the furthest west point in their track are a regular occurrance, to the detriment of anyone who is nearby when it happens.
