Ophelia appears to be another fast forming storm near Azores in mid-Atlantic … still a little too early to count our chickens with 70% likelihood — but system is getting better organized & stronger by the hour — so TD#17 could indeed form within next 24 hours

[size=5]NEXT ……… TD#17 has formed & likely to become Ophelia … 35mph … 1008mb (1000 = near border line to become TS) …
Same pattern as Maria, Harvey & Lee — it will be almost stationary for most of this week as Tropical Storm season 2017 has been a wild ride ….[/size]
Ophelia will become the 10th consecutive storm to grow to hurricane strength this season, thereby tying a storm record that hasn’t been set since the late 1800s, the Miami Herald reports. If one more hurricane were to form immediately after Ophelia, that century-old record would be broken.
