Re: Tropical Storm Ophelia Forms off Florida East Coast

Well, the pressure going up is a good sign. If Ophelia has been sitting and spinning in the same area for almost an entire day, she has to be pulling some of the heat out of that water .... "upwelling" is the technical term for that, I believe. She cannot keep feeding on the same waters forever.
I just so Joe B. on FNC. He's okay sometimes, but I really hate the "everyone pat me on the back" stuff and then he said that Ophelia could go anywhere. DUH.

Footnote: I will be leaving town tomorrow for a week. I fully expect to come back and welcome Ophelia. ;-)
