...OPHELIA'S FORECAST TRACK MOVING FURTHER OUT TO SEA...

TROPICAL STORM OPHELIA IS FORECAST TO BRUSH COASTAL NORTH CAROLINA
WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY, THEN LIFT NORTHEAST AND OUT TO SEA
LATE THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY. THE LATEST FORECAST PUTS THE
STORM ABOUT 150 MILES EAST OF OCEAN CITY, MARYLAND AND 150 MILES
SOUTHEAST OF CAPE MAY, NEW JERSEY ON FRIDAY AFTERNOON WHEN IT
MAKES ITS CLOSEST APPROACH TO OUR REGION.

AT THAT DISTANCE, THE GREATEST THREAT FROM THE STORM WOULD BE
ALONG THE DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY COASTLINES, AND IT WOULD BE IN
THE FORM OF ROUGH SEAS, RIP CURRENTS, MINOR TIDAL FLOODING AT
TIMES OF HIGH TIDE AND MINOR BEACH EROSION. SOME GUSTS TO TROPICAL
STORM FORCE ARE ALSO POSSIBLE MAINLY OVER THE COASTAL WATERS OF
DELAWARE AND NEW JERSEY. THESE ALL LIKELY WOULD BEGIN LATE
THURSDAY AND COULD LAST INTO FRIDAY.

PEOPLE ALONG THE COAST SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR SUBSEQUENT
FORECASTS, SINCE THE PROJECTED PATH OF THE STORM IS BY NO MEANS A
CERTAINTY. WERE THE STORM TO MOVE FURTHER WEST THAN THE PRESENT
FORECAST INDICATES, IT WOULD POSE A GREATER THREAT. 

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO ALL HAZARDS, OR YOUR LOCAL MEDIA
OUTLETS, CONCERNING THE DEVELOPMENTS OF OPHELIA.
