Tropical Storm Ophelia remains stationary about 60 miles east-northeast of Cape Canaveral, Florida this morning. Her 11:00 AM stats:

Latitude 28.6 North, Longitude 79.6 West
Maximum sustained wind: 60 mph
No movement

From the National Hurricane Center: Rain bands with strong winds have been pushing into Florida’s east coast. Ophelia is expected to produce rain totals of 1″ to 3″ along portions of central and northern Florida and southeastern Georgia, with isolated amounts of 5″. Here’s a visible satellite loop of Tropical Storm Ophelia (it can’t be used at night).

The NHC’s official five day forecast path doesn’t take the storm very far from its current location. Ophelia may end up looping around and threatening the Southeast U.S. coast in the next week, so we’ll be watching her.
