#1 At 1 PM CDT...1800z...the center of Hurricane Wilma was located near latitude 20.4 north... longitude 86.7 west or about 15 miles... 25 km... east-southeast of Cozumel Mexico.
Wilma is moving toward the northwest near 5 mph... 7 km/hr. On this track... the core of Wilma will be over Cozumel during the next
few hours and be near the northeastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula later today and tonight. However... Wilma has a large circulation and hurricane conditions are already being experienced in portions of the northeastern Yucatan Peninsula. Cancun radar continues to show strong rainbands over Cozumel and Cancun.

Maximum sustained winds are near 140 mph... 225 km/hr... with higher gusts. Wilma is a category four hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale. Some fluctuations in intensity are possible before Wilma makes landfall on the northeastern coast of the Yucatan Peninsula.

#3 Wow, that sucks - these people are still recovering from Emily in July. I was in Cozumel/Cancun/Yucatan in July a few days after Emily, and it was devastated.
