Re: Ophelia's Movement

Quote:

I was specifically wondering about about a westward move through Georgia and back into the panhandle of Florida as a tropical depression or borderline Tropcial Storm. I don't see it as a sneak because I think that her relative pressures could increase which would cause her to more or less blend in to the surrounding pressures.




One of the models was showing that the other day (I forget which model and which day, it's been a long week). When I saw it I showed it to a co-worker and we had a good laugh. I suppose it's possible, but it doesn't seem probable. Right now (last couple of hours), Ophelia looks like a pinball - bouncing around and ending up pretty much right where she was to start with. It's going to take a weakness somewhere for the storm to move - where that weakness occurs is going to be interesting.
