[0:00] itic because of weak steering currents

[0:02] we could be looking at opilia out there

[0:04] off the Florida coastline for the next

[0:06] several days here is the satellite image

[0:09] from about 12 hours ago you can see the

[0:11] storm was getting better organized with

[0:13] a lot of this purple indicating the

[0:15] strongest thunderstorm activity near the

[0:17] center of the storm and look what has

[0:19] happened there is definitely a more

[0:20] excuse me symmetrical shape to this

[0:22] portion of the storm and the outflow or

[0:24] the cloud pattern is getting a bit

[0:26] better organized now the strongest

[0:27] convection or thunderstorm activity

[0:29] actually remains a little bit further

[0:31] north of the actual center of the storm

[0:33] but all signs indicate that opilia is

[0:36] going to continue to strengthen possibly

[0:38] to a hurricane in the next several days

[0:40] now we're going to show you what will

[0:41] appear to be a rather ambiguous forecast

[0:44] but here are our issues as far as

[0:46] putting the forecast together there will

[0:48] be a midlevel trough or jet stream dip

[0:51] digging down towards the Southeastern

[0:52] Coastline if we could get this thing to

[0:54] push a little bit further south it would

[0:56] be good it would steer it off the coast

[0:58] but it's not really going to play out

[1:00] that way at least in the short term we

[1:01] have very weak steering currents and

[1:03] that means that opilia could just kind

[1:05] of hang off the north Florida coastline

[1:07] from the next several days Meandering

[1:09] about and then potentially taking a turn

[1:11] off to the Northeast and possibly coming

[1:13] back towards the Florida coastline at

[1:16] some point in the future so
