----------------------
Key messages for Ophelia can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT1, WMO header WTNT41 KNHC,
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT1.shtml

STORM SURGE:  Water levels remain elevated within portions of
Chesapeake Bay and its tidal rivers but should gradually recede
through today.  For information specific to your area,
please see products issued by your local National Weather Service
forecast office.


RAINFALL:  Ophelia is expected to produce the following additional
rainfall through late this coming night:

Portions of the Mid-Atlantic to southern New England…1 to 3 inches

This rainfall may produce localized flash, urban, and small stream
flooding impacts across portions of the Mid-Atlantic region into
southern New England.  Isolated river flooding is possible in areas
of heavier rainfall.


SURF:  Swells generated by Ophelia will continue to affect much of
the east coast of the United States through today.  These swells are 
likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  
Please consult products from your local weather office.
