Re: Hurricane Ophelia Sitting off East Central Florida Still Stationary

It might, but the predominant flow from that area is towards the SE & ESE. That would tend to dampen any sustained northward motion. As noted a little while ago, a general east to east-northeast motion is likely at a slow rate of speed over the next 2-3 days. This is in agreement with the later forecast posted by WXMAN RICHIE a few posts back as well.
