is there any chance that td#16..aka-Ophelia could strengthen into a hurricane before hitting florida?




Yep...it "could" but it isn't likely.

The model graphic shows 2 models bringing it to minimal Hurricane strength before landfall. http://euler.atmos.colostate.edu/~vigh/guidance/atlantic/intensity1.png

But on the other hand, look at the HUGE model divergence on track! Nearly 180 degree divergence!

EDIT:
Has the NHC decided on a new time system than the 24 hour standard day? We've got a 50 PM sitting over on the main page for TD 16! In case NHC realizes their mistake and takes it down, I took the liberty of screenshoting it: http://www.vorklift.com/50pm.png
