Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 35
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024
500 AM AST Tue Aug 20 2024
Increasingly strong westerly vertical wind shear is affecting the
cyclone, displacing most of the remaining deep convection to the
east of the low-level center. The system's cloud pattern is
already taking on a less tropical-looking appearance, making
intensity estimates via the Dvorak technique somewhat problematic.
However, a couple of ship reports of winds of 58 and 51 kt to the
east of the center indicate that Ernesto is still near hurricane
strength. Thus, the advisory intensity is set at 65 kt.
The hurricane has been accelerating northeastward and the initial
motion estimate is 050/31 kt. Ernesto is embedded within a strong
deep-layer flow between a large trough over the northeastern U.S.
and a ridge over the central subtropical Atlantic. In a day or so,
an even faster motion toward the northeast and east-northeast is
likely as the cyclone comes more under the influence of a large
deep-layer cyclone over the northeastern Atlantic. The official
track forecast is close to the previous NHC prediction, and follows
the multi-model consensus solution.
Continued weakening is likely as Ernesto moves over cold water and
remains under the influence of strong shear. Based on current
trends and simulated satellite imagery from the global models, the
system's deep convection should be disrupted to the point that
Ernesto will have become a post-tropical cyclone in about 12 hours.
In 24 hours, the guidance shows a frontal appearance indicating
extratropical transition. In 36 hours or so, Ernesto is predicted
to open up into a trough over the northeastern Atlantic.
Key Messages:
1. The effects of swells generated by Ernesto on the coasts of
Bermuda, the northeast U.S., and Atlantic Canada should diminish
during the next day or so. Until then, beach goers should be aware
that there still could be a significant risk of life-threatening
surf and rip currents and should stay out of the water if advised by
lifeguards.

Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 34
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024
1100 PM AST Mon Aug 19 2024
Satellite imagery shows that the convective structure of Ernesto is
decaying due to increasing shear and passage over colder water,
with most of the remaining convection now in the northeastern
quadrant. However, Canadian radar shows the remaining convection
still has a good tropical cyclone banding pattern. Satellite
intensity estimates were mostly near 75 kt at 00Z, and based on the
loss of organization since that time the initial intensity is
decreased to 70 kt.
Ernesto should continue steady to rapid weakening due to shear and
cold water. The new intensity forecast has the cyclone losing its
remaining convection and becoming a post-tropical low by 24 h.
However, this could be generous, and the system could become
post-tropical at any time. After 24 h, Ernesto is going to become
involved with a large baroclinic low developing near Iceland, and
as this occurs it is likely to develop or merge with a frontal zone
to become extratropical. The system is expected to degenerate to a
trough on the south side of the larger low by 48 h.
The hurricane is now accelerating northeastward with the initial
motion of 050/30 kt. The strong flow between an approaching mid- to
upper-level trough over the eastern U.S. and a ridge over the
subtropical central Atlantic should cause the cyclone to accelerate
even more during the next 24 h, and a rapid east-northeastward
motion should continue as the baroclinic low becomes the
predominant steering influence. The NHC track forecast remains near
the middle of the tightly clustered models and has no significant
change since the previous advisory.
Key Messages:
1. The effects of swells generated by Ernesto on the coasts of
Bermuda, the northeast U.S., and Atlantic Canada should diminish
during the next day or so. Until then, beach goers should be aware
that there still could be a significant risk of life-threatening
surf and rip currents and should stay out of the water if advised by
lifeguards.
2. Ernesto will likely bring some wind, wave, and rain impacts to
portions of southeastern Newfoundland during the next several hours.
Breaking waves could bring the possibility of coastal flooding,
particularly along southwest-facing shorelines from Bunin east to
Avalon regions. For additional impact specific information, please
see statements issued by the Canadian Hurricane Centre.

Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 33
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024
500 PM AST Mon Aug 19 2024
Ernesto is maintaining its intensity at high latitudes. The
hurricane continues to have an eye feature, especially in the
mid-levels, and thunderstorms remain most organized north of the
center. Recent microwave images indicate that the circulation has
become titled from southwest to northeast with height, an indication
of increasing southwesterly vertical wind shear. The initial
intensity is held at 80 kt, in general agreement with the subjective
and objective Dvorak estimates.
Ernesto has likely peaked in strength. Since the hurricane has now
crossed the north wall of the Gulf Stream and moving into an
environment of increasing shear and drier air, steady or rapid
weakening is expected to begin soon. The environmental factors
should also cause extratropical transition, which will likely be
complete Tuesday morning. The NHC intensity forecast is the same as
the previous one and in line with the bulk of the guidance.
The hurricane is gradually accelerating to the northeast, or 35
degrees at 23 kt. The strong flow between an approaching mid- to
upper-level trough over the eastern U.S. and a ridge over the
subtropical central Atlantic should cause the cyclone to accelerate
even more and turn to the northeast and east-northeast during the
next couple of days. The NHC track forecast remains near the middle
of the tightly clustered models.
Key Messages:
1. Swells generated by Ernesto will continue to affect the coasts
of Bermuda, the northeast U.S., and Atlantic Canada during the next
day or so. Beach goers should be aware that there is a significant
risk of life-threatening surf and rip currents, and should stay out
of the water if advised by lifeguards.
2. Ernesto will likely bring some wind, wave, and rain impacts to
portions of southeastern Newfoundland tonight into Tuesday morning.
Breaking waves could bring the possibility of coastal flooding,
particularly along southwest-facing shorelines from Bunin east to
Avalon regions. For additional impact specific information, please

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
located near latitude 43.8 North, longitude 56.1 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the northeast near 26 mph (43 km/h). An even faster
motion to the northeast or east-northeast is expected during the
next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto
will pass near southeastern Newfoundland tonight and early Tuesday.
Maximum sustained winds remain near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher
gusts. Steady to rapid weakening is forecast, and Ernesto is
expected to become a post-tropical cyclone early Tuesday.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 miles
(350 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 968 mb (28.59 inches).
HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Key messages for Ernesto can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC
and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.
SURF: Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting Bermuda, the
northeast coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada.
Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions are likely to
continue in these areas during the next day or so. In southeastern
Newfoundland large breaking waves could bring the possibility of
coastal flooding, particularly along southwest-facing shorelines
from Burin east to Avalon regions. Please consult products from
your local weather office, and stay out of the water if advised by
lifeguards.
