Yeah, noticed that slight westward drift lately. It's really hard to tell if it's a drift or the west side of the cyclone filling in now that the dry air has lessened. Bastardi's 11am update suggested that the ridge would win out over the next 48 hours and push Ophelia westward anywhere from 120 to 240 miles. Now I don't think his geography is that great because that would push it almost on shore south of Charleston, while he's calling for a Wilmington to Morehead City landfall.

Anyway, it's completely cloudy here now, a total change from yesterday. Might go out later and check out the Surf. Hopefully we get some rain, it's been a very dry month.
