For storm information specific to your area...including possible

The previous position estimate was a little too far to the east.
At 3 am EDT...0700z...the large eye of Hurricane Wilma was
located near latitude 25.1 north... longitude 82.8 west or about
75 miles west-northwest of Key West Florida and about 95 miles
southwest of Naples Florida.
Wilma is moving toward the northeast near 20 mph... and a continued
increase in forward speed is expected during the next 24 hours. On
this track the center will make landfall along the southwestern
coast of the Florida Peninsula later this morning. However...this
is a large hurricane and wind gusts to hurricane force have already
spread over portions of the lower Florida Keys. The eastern
portion of the eyewall... accompanied by the strongest winds...
will reach the southwestern coast of Florida about 2 hours before
the center of the large eye makes landfall.
Maximum sustained winds are near 120 mph...with higher gusts. Wilma
is a category three hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. No
significant change in strength is expected until landfall. Some
weakening is likely as Wilma crosses the southern Florida Peninsula
today.
Hurricane force winds extend outward up to 85 miles from the
center...and tropical storm force winds extend outward up
to 230 miles. A wind gust to 76 mph was recently reported at Key
West.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 954 mb...28.17 inches.
Storm surge flooding of 9 to 17 ft above normal tide levels is
possible along the southwest Florida coast near and to the
south of where the center of Wilma makes landfall. Storm surge
flooding of 5 to 8 ft above normal is possible in the Florida Keys
and Florida Bay... as well as in Lake Okeechobee. Storm surge
flooding of 2 to 4 feet is possible along the extreme southeastern
coast of Florida.
Wilma may produce additional rainfall accumulations of 5 to 10
inches through today across portions of western Cuba. Rainfall
across southern Florida and portions of central Florida...
including the Florida Keys is expected to be 4 to 8 inches... with
isolated maximum amounts of 12 inches possible. Rainfall totals of
2 to 4 inches will be possible over portions of the northwest
Bahamas.
Large swells generated by Wilma will continue to affect portions of
the northeastern Gulf Coast from the Florida Keys northward today.
Some tornadoes are possible over portions of the central and
southern Florida Peninsula and the Florida Keys this morning.
Repeating the 3 am EDT position...25.1 N... 82.8 W. Movement
toward...northeast near 20 mph. Maximum sustained winds...120 mph.
Minimum central pressure... 954 mb.
The next advisory will be issued by the National Hurricane Center at
5 am EDT.

Me too but the cloud tops are a lot darker now on the western side right now. If it wraps around before landfall, don't think it will or expect it to, then that would be really bad.
Wilma main thread - HoumaLA_WXguy - 10-24-2005 02:36 AM
Agreed.. Man, this is horrible..
Those poor people in FL are going to wake up to something nasty on thier doorstep. A lot of them didn't evacuate either..
Wilma main thread - Chris48 - 10-24-2005 02:37 AM
950 can support 120 kt winds around 140 mph.
Go to those sites i posted, one being the NHC, that doesnt lie period, that is the reading they got. Florida, I/we are dealing with an intensifing cat 3/4 hurricane at landfall.
