Re: Ophelia Moves Away For Now

The recon plane recently found flight-level winds of 75 knots, but that only corresponds to 60 kt at the surface using the 20% reduction from 850 mb. Unless they find something a little stronger before the next advisory, they may decide to leave it as a tropical storm. I don't think they like to flip flop between listing it as a tropcial storm and hurricane too often.
