The Green Files > Wilma Category 5: Lowest Pressure Ever

http://www.theoildrum.com [The Oil Drum | A Community Discussion about Peak Oil] High pressure in mid-levels of the atmosphere across the central and western Gulf of Mexico has actually remained fairly strong and that explains why Wilma has been moving more west than north during Tuesday night. An upper-level storm system moving out of the southwestern states will head northeastward and cause this upper-level high to weaken, especially over the eastern Gulf of Mexico.

Of course, should Bush nominate Gonzales, he'd be opening up his right flank at a time when his right flank is about all he has left.

http://www.capitalweather.com [Capitalweather.com] CapitalWeather.com - The Power Center for Washington DC Weather: There's still a lot of uncertainty regarding our weather for late Saturday and Sunday, as the models are trying to get a handle on the track of Hurricane Wilma and how the storm will interact with other weather systems in the Eastern U.S. As of press time, Wilma was a rapidly intensifying Category 2 storm. She is expected to reach Category 4 on her way to possible landfall along the western coast of Florida late Saturday.

The trough in the west is moving towards the east right on schedule -- perhaps just ahead of the forecasts from 24-48hr ago, as shown in a comparison of the model output and analyses -- and is at or just above the intensity forecast at that point as well. Its impacts are borne out in the 850-400mb steering flow pattern progression from the Univ.
