We're not good at predicting rapid intensification, but that's a real possibility. There's not a lot of wind shear, and it's going over real warm waters, so people need to pay attention and prepare. Not panic.

The rainfall is going to be a major major issue and it could intensify because it is moving so slow.

We do expect Wilma to make landfall somewhere in the Florida peninsula, possibly on Saturday into Sunday, as a Category 3 hurricane.

It looks like it's going to impact a little bit further north than Katrina did.

It's moving so slow that we see it meandering around for days. We do think it will continue on a north-northwest track, hugging the coast of Florida, so it's something that people need to keep an eye on.

It will start to make a gradual turn to the north and then to the northeast, impacting the Florida peninsula possibly on Saturday.
