Re: Hurricane Ophelia Sitting off East Central Florida Still Stationary

Ok, I have a really dumb question. Looking at water vapor images, it appears that the western edge of the high to the north is breaking down as well. If this western edge break downs sooner than the northern portion of the high, could that cause the strom to move more northerly, similar to the convection in the GOM?



It would seem to me that that would make Ophelia move WEST, not NORTH.... maybe I misunderstand what you're saying though.
