Wilma Watching

[smich]

Actually, I thought she would lose her shape a lot more than she has.

The big question now is: how much land will she "fall" onto, and how much will that weaken her, cos the implications are quite profound for Florida.

What kind of rainfall totals are being forecast for Florida then?

[SnowBear]

I fear that when Wilma has finished there the destruction will be many many times worse than those pics, it is awesome to see a storm like this in full flow, but not when lives are at risk and so many livelyhoods effected. We've seen enough of this this year.

Could take some time before we get word of how they fare on the Yucatan I think.

I am sure you will all join me in thoughts and send blessings to them all.

[I can't believe it's not better]

Ugh! Just got a chance to look at it.

Good call SnowBear, its all fine and well us getting 'excited' about it but theres people dying right now because of this storm. on the thread the other day somebody was criticised for talking about the 'human cull' of bird flu, some of those same people who were quick to criticise are lapping up this storm, strikes me as being a bit hypocritical.

[Mondy]

You can clearly see it took a northwards wobble just over Cozumel Island, then kinda westward again as it interacted. http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/GOES/FLT/T1/FT_loop.html

I've no idea what happens next :lol: ...seems to have stalled too (in two minds about what she does next)

If its stalled it must be a female hurricane

If you look back at the image, the rainbow scale at the bottom suggests to me that it is, as you would expect, dead calm and tranquil (eerie). Light rain, that'll be about it. Around the eyewall MUST be almighty frightening right now.

Thanks for replying earlier Mondy.

[kold weather]

The NHc has been forecasting the slow down for a little while now Mondy.Reason is for the time-being anyway Wilma is in light steering currents.The north-ward tug we saw this morning is all due tothe trough.Now this has moved out of the way to the east of the system and there is now a very slight ridge in place which is pretty much keeping it slowly going North-westwards.This has caused the steering patterns to be weak and it'll stay this way for the next 24hrs I'd suspect until the next major trough dips down and picks up Wilma and shoves it to the Ne/ENE and while that occurs it'll speed up as the steering current gets stronger.

The wobbles are to be expected though as any minor feature it'll 'feel' and cause it to wobble,be it a slight trough or ridge will shift it and even convective bursts and inner core changes can cause wobbles in certain directions.It may well be on a northward wobble again by the looks of things and it may well have stalled as well or at least drastically slowed.I'm with snowbear though,that entire area must have been hit and still is onland very hard by the western eyewall,granted its probably the weaker side its still packing cat-3 winds and very heavy rain.

:lol: em, the one's posted on the links thread are crap tbh..

Now Wilma's probably heading to Florida a lot more will become available.

I've still kept all the Katrina TV feeds in me' files, but as yet, not a lot happening with the Florida feeds (they all tend to integrate with one another)..
