Saturday - 6PM Update Ophelia just about stationary, however, west northwesterly wind shear and drier air are doing a number on the convection on the west side of the hurricane and could expose the low level center this evening. No change to the NHC Hurricane Watch. ED
Saturday - Noon Update Ophelia is a hurricane again and a Hurricane Watch has been issued for portions of the South Carolina and North Carolina coast. See my comments in the Resident Meteorologist Discussions Forum for details. ED
Original Post Ophelia has begun to move away from the Florida coastline, to the north. The loop around back to the US is still expected, but is now more likely for the South Carolina coastline, although all areas in the southeast coast will want to watch this system over the next few days.
The storm weakened back to a Tropical Storm yesterday evening and is now back to Hurricane Status this evening. Conditions will start to improve over Florida throughout the evening.
