Wilma's Effects on the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast

#1 Postby Dave R » Sat Oct 22, 2005 9:35 am

Does any forecaster think that there is a chance that Wilma is closer to the Mid-Atlantic coast than the models are predicting? What if the trough becomes more negatively tilted and our upper level winds over the mid-atlantic become more from a southerly component?

the models may shift closer to the EC, but right now it just looks like some rough surf, rip current, and depending how much the wind field expands, some strong gusts to maybe tropical storm force particulary for NC

It's not exactlty the trough itself that will keep it away from the northeastern US but the westerly flow aloft behind the axis of the trough that will keep Wilma well out to sea; although, it may cause a brief headache for the Newfoundland maritimes.
