Re: Ophelia Moves Away For Now

Good morning, CFHurricane family.

Any mets wish to weigh in on Ophelia's likely track and intensity this am? Beaufort County, SC emergency management is meeting at 9:00 am to make a decision on evacuation. NHC path, I see, is moved north, with the GFDL being a southern outlier. Any thoughts as to how much weight I should put on that model, which seems to be more current, in making my own decision?

All thoughts gratefully accepted. Last night, I was strongly leaning toward leaving today (I have elderly inlaws, dogs, etc), but today am leaning toward "hold", since landfall seems to have been pushed back some.

Thanks!
