WW first has to see her target and decide which one to go for, and then make the decision to fly in that direction.In that time, the shields will be up.

How fast would you gauge Sue's reflexes/reaction times, MB? Normal Human? Athletic human? Peak human? Super-human? Meta-human?
Can WW travel faster than thought? WW may have faster reaction time, but she still has to move her body from place A to place B. all Sue has to do is think and the electrons travelling through her nervous system are travelling at the speed of electricity with a much smaller distance to travel than WW's body. I doubt WW's flight speed can make up for that. If the force-field goes up, WW is in trouble since Storm can work her powers through force-field and Sue can also work offensively as well as defensively.
Heck, Diana could end up fighting blind? What if Sue made both she and Ororo invisible? They still have extra senses that would enable them to locate each other while being invisible to Diana. Storm can also whip up a fog or blizzard to further blind WW as they batter her with their powers.

As someone who is paid to study the brain I can say do not believe a word of this
thought moves much slower than electricity as it is a flow of ions in and out of neurons through specific channels, which then propagate by chemical neurotransmitters across the synapse. Electrons have no role in neural activity. (Save that the ions have electrons that give them a positive charge. These electrons do not move, in fact if they did, the brain would cease to function.
The standard reaction time of a human to incoming stimuli is 300ms
it is probably safe to assume that sue would be able activate her shields on a more reflexive level, so possibly in 150 to 200ms after the stimuli hits her receptors (light into eyes). (this is clearly unless sue is stated on panel to be faster thinking than a normal human).

Her shields have held up against much stronger things than WW's punches.
I don't believe she'd have it up in time. Yet even if she did how will she stop Diana? If Diana is moving at near light speed how would IW perform an feat against her? She'd be trying to keep her shield up to protect herself only to fail.
Depends on how far they start apart.
How long does it take WW to reach lightspeed???
Is it faster than thought?
The best thing for storm and Sue to do is maybe spread out so Diana doesn't really know what they're going to do.
Storm has the better offensive and Sue has the bette defensive.
Id say they use go all out and use raw power against her.
