Looking at the water vapor loop it appears...to my untrained eyes...that the NE area of convection is breaking away...for lack of a better term.
Is it possible that this is what the models may have been picking up on moving NE? Is it possible for that to break away & Ophelia begin her move W os SW or whatever the heck she's going to do? It is offically confirmed she's moved S some right?

I dont think there is one single thing confirmed about this storm, cept that it is off the east coast... 
but to answer yes, i think it is drifting south, east, west, and north
a little here and there which equals nothing.
I dont think it can move west right now cuz of the ridge...

I was wondering that myself. Could be that some of the models picked up that piece of energy....maybe not. Doesn't seem to have an effect on the overall system right now.....interesting.

looking at the radar she is showing better structure on the west and south and maybe, just maybe the beginning of the ENE movement

Looking at the radar out of Melbourne, The storm is exactly where it was 24 hours ago.
Good to see that the official track takes this one out to sea to the NE in the near future.

Believe the 00Z model run today showed Ophelia splitting. Not on 012Z run though. A most perplexing storm for sure.

does it look like if she is trying to reorganize a little better from the latest loops? Looks like it to me. Also, looks like some of the cloud mass around the center is diggin in with a deep curve?

She looks like she is getting better organized on both radar and sat images. Check this out

Can anyone tell me what exactly Seminole County residents should be expecting tomorrow out of Ophelia??? Right now I just see dark clouds covering the sunshine and blue skies that we normally see. Not much to speak of in the way of rain. I think we got some rain early this a.m. but haven't seen much but a little drizzle this after noon. I want to decide weather or not to send my kids to school tomorrow, basically. I do not have cable or satelite or anything, it's too expensive so I rely on the internet to get my weather primarily.

Eyes may be deceiving me, but it remains stationary, perhaps reforming slightly to the east of where it was before. There is no reason for Seminole to worry about tomorrow. It's mainly along the coast, and even there it isn't too bad. Erosion along Volusia county beaches is about the biggest worry at the moment.

..have it making a loop reaching cat.4-ish status and then weakening a little before heading toward the GA-FL-SC coast.
Ryan, I'm not sure where you got that information, but from first-hand experience I can tell you that isn't the case. There hasn't been a model to make this storm a category 3 storm, yet alone category 4. --Clark

MikeC, I saw that to, and think it is also reforming the center a tad south and east.

One of the best discussions I've seen on Ophelia thus far is the 1:20 PM West Central Florida (Ruskn) piece. Link is on the main page under Local Weather Outlooks/Discussions. Worth a read.

The 12Z loops Ophelia twice before bringing it into the Carolinas in about 11 days. I have a feeling this is going to be around for awhile.

Why is "sensible weather" so named?

The erosion along South Volusia County beaches is/will be extensive, but, Flagler County is having some problems also. Apparently two sections of State Road A1A have been washed out by the waves. Florida DOT is dumping coquina rocks into the pits, but it does not appear to be that successful in stopping the erosion.

Have tom say that for the first time in while now... the models seem to be in agreement for the most part... not like they were yesterdayu.

Ophelia continues to improve on satellite, as it is continually generating deep convection and there is evidence of an anticyclone building over the storm. There is a some lightning activity in the would-be western eyewall, but there isn't much going on in the eastern half of the storm at the moment. Wind speeds seem to be slowly increasing on radar. It is trying to intensify, but it will only intensify slowly until it can wrap some convection all the way around the center of the system.

Agreed to some extent on the convergence of th models, but still some very substantial outliers:
