South Florida will have to wait to learn its fate.

Because Category 4 Hurricane Wilma has not moved as quickly through the Caribbean as anticipated, and could even stall, it is projected to reach this region on Sunday or Monday.

How strong it will be on arrival also is a growing question, as forecasters say it could be anywhere from a Category 1 with winds up to 95 mph to a Category 3, with winds up to 120 mph.

In any case, the National Hurricane Center urges residents to have all preparations in place by Saturday afternoon.
