I think Ophelia may have peaked for the time being... the latest recon shows no change in pressure and no longer indicates an eyewall. The storm does not look as organized on radar, either, and the radar velocities have come down somewhat. The cloud tops in the NW quadrant are warming... there may be some sort of dry intrusion developing up there.
As noted a couple of posts above by gvl, fl, I also noticed that something appears to be tugging the cloud tops in the far NW quadrant of the storm to the north. That may be an indication of the system that is going to try to pull Ophelia to the N and then NE.

When in doubt, take the word of the National Hurricane Center
