Less time over land = a stronger storm upon landfall. No more than 12 hours over water now probably.

Of course...there's more than that...but that's the summary.

I doubt 12 hours or less over land, much longer. It is heading on in and starting to erode. Probably a cat 3 shortly and a 2 by 5 am.

well half of it is over land...still a whole lot over water pumping in energy, weakening is not as fast as it would be completely over land

According to this IR Loop it loosk like the Eye of Wilma wobbled wetward and made landfall on the NE Yucatan coastline!


http://www.ssd.noaa.gov/PS/TROP/DATA/RT ... -loop.html

Check it out! It looks like it hooked west around the North side of Cozumel and then made landfall on the coast.
