Alpha still easily discernible. Is there a chance she gets whipped into the mainland?

The convection on the far southestern side looks strange - is it baroclinic or what?

Nope... Wilma will have him/her as a snack tomorrow. :lol:

Note the cold air clouds on the backside of Wilma... WOW. It's beginning to look a lot like winter. :D

That is rather startling!
I hope it's genuine.. well the link is.
02:32z and it still has 2 eyes!

This is one of those incredible pics that is worthy of a giant mural/poster.
Hey Storm2K, see what it would cost to license this image from NASA...
Could make some bucks on t-shirts, posters, etc.
Just come up with some catchy or clever phrase/comment to put with it.
Any tropical weather watcher should love it!

Great idea, Tronbunny! :D I hope they look into that. It stopped me in my tracks for a minute when I first saw it, then I promptly saved it for posterity. Going along on Wilma's Wild Ride was definitely an experience I'll never forget! :shocked!:

Here's another good one, that can be interpreted to kinda look like a mermaid/siren.
