She gained hurricane status for about 12 hours but as of 4 o'clock on this Friday morning Ophelia is back down to tropical storm status.
She was centered 115 miles east of Daytona Beach with sustained winds of 65 mph. She is finally beginning to move toward the NNE at 6 mph. Her future moves, or the lack thereof, will be most interesting. The official NHC track forecast still has her making a loop and headed back toward the USA mainland in a few days. Generally toward the Georgia-South Carolina Coast.
James will outline all the possibilities with his Friday morning map discussion around 6 am.
