Re: Tropical Storm Ophelia Forms off Florida East Coast

The last model to suggest something like the Accuweather forecast was the 06Z GFDL (and it was an outlier). The 12Z GFDL was much further north and the other 12Z models forecasted some sort of cyclonic loop with no landfall anywhere.

The 18Z GFS actually takes Ophelia right out to sea (no loop back towards the coast) beginning in about 24 hours. It would be nice if that verifies.
