Now it seems to have resumed a SW drift on satellite. The GFDL predicts a slow WSW movement during the next 24 hours and may turn out to be somewhat accurate if this trend continues. Obviously, the further west it gets, the more likely it is to hit something when it gets turned to the north as expected.
IF it gets turned to the north as expected. Has Ophelia done anything "as expected" yet? The NHC says she's not going to move, she starts moving. They say she's gonna move, she stalls. Ancient Chinese water torcher seems like a safer bet than predicting what Ophelia is going to do. The latest long-range radar images are inconclusive as to current motion, but the satellite does show a SW movement. I say movement because it looks like it's a bit too fast to be called a "drift" right now, but it will undoubtably stall again in an hour or two.
