So what happens if Ophelia intensifies?

This is the general tropical discussion area. Anyone can take their shot at predicting a storms path.

I would be paying very close attention to this storm if I was in Cape Cod or Nova Scotia. I would have no problem forecasting upcoming intensifcation right now if I knew that the solar wind speed was going to be continually diminishing.

If it does get down close to 500 km/sec....look out.

We are paying attention here on the Cape. Will let you know tomorrow night, I guess...


Well the solar wind is still hovering around 590 km/sec...ACE2's latest one hour average. This is higher than what it was earlier today. A two hour lull is not good enough I might add. The longer they stay up... the better I would feel about her not reorganizing much more ...which is what I am hoping for BTW. We do not need another area getting flooded or damaged.

I would think that most people would agree that it will take allot to change her now even from the conventional point of view so one has to consider when does the point of no return occur?
