Ophelia

If Ophelia is going to start intensifying again, now would be the time for that to start, as I think it is pretty much over the Gulf Stream at this point. While there has been a very slight increase in convection around the center in the last hour or so, nothing dramatic yet. It seems like these storms that reach hurricane strength and then have their inner-core decimated like Ophelia often struggle to recover, even if they find themselves in a favorable environment again.
