Re: Ophelia

If the eyeballed wind estimate of 70 knots is accurate, it already is a hurricane, though it seems they usually don't seem to put a lot of weight on those wind estimates. I don't think they have sampled the SW quadrant of the storm yet, so it will be interesting to see if they can find stronger winds at flight-level.
