Re: Tropical Storm Ophelia Forms off Florida East Coast

Quote:

Has Ophelia started to be affected by the gulf stream and is it still as warm as it was when Katrina was getting her act together?

Currently the Gulf Stream is about 41mi off of Canaveral and 61mi off of Ponce Inlet. Ophelia is located about 85mi offshore. If she drifts cloers though she could pull in more warm water from the GS.
