Re: Tropical Storm Ophelia Forms off Florida East Coast

The supplementary vortex message issued after the recon fix indicates a flight level wind of 54 knots in the SE quadrant. I believe the strongest winds were found in the SE quadrant by the last plane, too. Based on how the system is structured, that is not what you would expect, since the most intense convection is to the west.
