Re: GFDL

The 06Z GFDL does make Ophelia a cat 2 hurricane once it moves into the Gulf of Mexico, which is the first time with this system that it takes it above tropical depression strength. The forecast track in the 06Z GFDL still has the system approaching an area by 126 hours that REALLY does not need another one of these right now.
