Eye on the Tropics - Ophelia
Tropical Storm Ophelia has formed well out in the Atlantic. It appears Ophelia will stay weak. Wind shear will prevent any rapid strengthening. And a few of our forecast models actually dissipate Ophelia in about 5 days.
Here is the latest track
While models keep Ophelia weak, they also show a slight curve to the north by 5 days…
Here are the computer models:
You can see that turn at the very end of these model runs. This is because I expect a series of fronts/troughs along the East Coast. This will help keep Ophelia to the east.
If there are any substantial changes to this, we’ll let you know.
I hope you have a great day!
