Re: Hurricane Ophelia Sitting off East Central Florida Still Stationary

The forcasters out at Tampa Bay have an interesting perspective on how the models are forcasting Ophelia's track, specifically their reliance on the upper level (above 500 mb) steering flow rather than the mid and low level flow, and even saying Ophelia could sit still for another day and totally miss the westerlies.

Could we get some other mets to comment on this?
