Re: Ophelia's Movement

Ed was just reading your blog of 11:00 am 9/10. It is amazing that this storm has moved merely one tenth degree south and a tenth or so east of the stats over 24 hours ago. I know there has been movement or drifting, but this is amazing. Is there any possibility that this storm will survive to go around the blockage at the south. I know the question was asked indirectly a while ago, and I read the answer. But those highs to the north really look too high to allow any northward travel unless Ophelia's air pressures start to rise and it does not matter anymore.




It really is amazing - when the storm started to move, who would have thought it would stall again so soon?
Are you asking if there is a possibility that Ophelia may sneak under the high and head west? The high definately seems to be blocking northward motion right now, but Ophelia is also looking ragged on the satellite.
