Floyd,

you're wrong according to your own map

most of the tropical Atlantic has over 20KT of shear.. well above average for a tropical cyclone

The map above shows shear trends (whether shear in an area is increasing or decreasing and by how much it is increasing/decreasing), not the amount of shear in an area.

THIS map is the one you want to find the current amount of shear in an area:

It's not really the shear thats getting Ophelia...it's the dry air and upwelling.

Oh yea, I am sure it will regain hurricane status...probably 75-85 mph. However, if it sits too long, it will upwell those waters too.

Atleast that 195mph Cane can't reach me in Arkansas!!!

humor aside.........
At least for now, the models (GFS, NOGAPS, UKMET) are in agreement of some kind of development east of the islands in a couple of days. Will see, if this come true.

Isn't that (SAL over ITCZ) a fairly normal looking central Atlantic?
