Melbourne NWSFO Radar Loop (Ophelia)

[Frank2]

Just my opinion, but, it seems that perhaps the system is now drifting eastwood (uh, eastward - guess I watched too many movies last night!).

Frank2 drink a six pack real qiuckly and then go on the Melbourne radar and tell us which way the storm is drifting as the room spins, only kidding.

anyone know what the HPC is saying now?

[Frank2]

Grrr... :wink:

We'll see what the 11 a.m. advisory has to say...

I'm sure they'll say stationary still.

Hopefully some of that dry air dropping southward will make a difference:

Getting Stronger????? Look at all the Yellows starting to wrap around the Center and that "LARGE" Center of circulation is getting smaller. Maybe up to 65MPH now and Stationary.

[mf_dolphin]

It actually looks to me like the smaller circulation center may be trying to take over. Looking at the Mel radar you can definitely see the two different centers.

I agree also....center relocated more South?

I am agree there has been a larger center but, it looks like this latest blow up is trying to form a smaller center farther south. I don't even see the northerly component that nhc is calling for.

11am position

.1 degree south, none west or east.

[deltadog03]

Yup!

Now that doesn't make me feel at all confident!

[Windtalker1]

alot of us are uneasy....I still feel she will start a ENE movement by tonight to do her so called "LOOP" Just how far out she goes before coming back remains to be seen...I have a feeling she will head out to the East alot farther than the current thinking and loop back SW on her return making landfall in Broward or Palmbeach County.

Per the NHC TCD, the models are more confident on an easterly motion through the period beginning tomorrow, though at a slow pace after Day 4 or 5.

They do indicate a small loop at the end of the period, but, according to the forecast plots, just a small one - not the extreme outcome mentioned above.

Frank

P.S. Per the latest radar loop, I'll stick by my original comment that a very slow eastward drift has begun - click on http://radar.weather.gov/radar/loop/DS. ... kmlb.shtml to view.

Dont even say it or think it!!

[shaggy]

calling alandfall now is just sort of out in left field the pros say they have little confidence in the track forecast so naming aparticular county is bold!
