Hurricane Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 29

National Hurricane Center - Sun, 08/18/2024 - 3:43pm
Issued at 500 PM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 182042 TCDAT5 Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 29 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 500 PM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 The structure of Ernesto this afternoon has continued to improve, with a more distinct eye becoming apparent on recent visible and infrared satellite images. This improving inner-core structure is also exhibited in a 1808 UTC GMI microwave pass that also showed a closed cyan ring on the 37-GHz color composite channel, which could be a harbinger for more significant intensification. While subjective Dvorak estimates have not increased much this afternoon, the objective intensity values now range from 60-69 kt and so the initial intensity was raised to 65 kt, making Ernesto a hurricane again. Ernesto's wind field is a bit smaller than yesterday, as indicated by a helpful set of scatterometer passes over Ernesto that were useful to adjust the 34- and 50-kt wind radii earlier today. With the improving inner-core structure, Ernesto is looking increasingly likely to take advantage of the favorable short-term conditions until the hurricane reaches the northern extent of the Gulf Stream at around 40 N. The raw output form the hurricane-regional model guidance now all show an overnight or Monday morning peak intensity of 75-kt or higher in the next 12-24 h, and the latest NHC intensity forecast now shows a bit more intensification overnight. However, Ernesto will quickly move over cooler ocean waters just after 12 h and weakening will likely be well underway by tomorrow afternoon. Shear is also forecast to increase after that time as well, and my best guess at the timing of extratropical transition, diagnosed by FSU cyclone-phase space diagrams and GFS/EC simulated satellite imagery, is shortly after 36 h on Tuesday morning as Ernesto passes just southeast of Newfoundland. The NHC intensity forecast is on the upper-end of the interpolated guidance aids in 12 h, but falls back to the multi-model intensity mean towards the end of its lifespan in 60-h where the cyclone will open up into a trough over the central North Atlantic. Ernesto continues its gradual acceleration north-northeast, estimated now at 020/15-kt. A further increase in forward motion with a turn more northeastward is anticipated over the next 24-36 h as Ernesto becomes caught up in the flow between a large deep-layer trough over the eastern U.S. and a subtropical ridge centered to the hurricane's southeast. A turn more east-northeastward is expected thereafter before the cyclone becomes absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone located further north between Greenland and Iceland. The track guidance this cycle remains tightly clustered and pretty close to the prior forecast track, and only slight track adjustments were made this cycle. On this track, Ernesto should make its closest approach to Newfoundland just to the southeast early Tuesday morning, with the bulk of the cyclone's wind field staying offshore of the Canadian Provence. Key Messages: 1. Even though Ernesto is forecast to remain well offshore of the U.S. East Coast, swells generated by the hurricane will continue to affect the area through the early part of this week. 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. Surf and rip currents are also possible on the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada during the next few days. 2. Ernesto could bring wind, wave, and rain impacts to portions of southeastern Newfoundland Monday night 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 see statements issued by the Canadian Hurricane Centre.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Interests in southeastern Newfoundland should monitor the progress DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was located near latitude 37.1 North, longitude 62.3 West. Ernesto is moving toward the north-northeast near 17 mph (28 km/h) and this motion with some increase in forward speed is forecast tonight, followed by a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast on Monday and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto will pass near southeastern Newfoundland late Monday into Tuesday morning. Maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Some additional intensification is forecast over the next 12 hours followed by weakening before Ernesto becomes a post-tropical cyclone on Tuesday. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 miles (350 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 977 mb (28.85 inches).

Tropical Storm Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 28

National Hurricane Center - Sun, 08/18/2024 - 9:48am
Issued at 1100 AM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 841 WTNT45 KNHC 181448 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Ernesto Discussion Number 28 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 1100 AM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 After struggling to produce a lot of deep central convection over the past 24 hours, Ernesto resembles more of a typical tropical cyclone this morning, as convection continues to burst and wrap around the center. There have also been hints of a cloud-filled eye feature showing up on visible satellite imagery. However, subjective and objective intensity estimates have not yet responded to the modest improvement in Ernesto's structure on satellite, and the initial intensity will remain just under hurricane intensity at 60 kt this advisory. Ernesto has about a 12-18 h window to intensify back into a hurricane while the shear remains low, and sea-surface temperatures (SSTs) are between 27-28 C before the cyclone reaches the north wall of the Gulf Stream. After Ernesto crosses this feature, the SSTs sharply decrease and shear markedly increases, both which should initiate extratropical transition. This process should be complete in about 48 h with the cyclone opening up into a trough as it is absorbed by another extratropical cyclone beyond 72 h. The NHC intensity forecast is largely an update from the previous cycle, in good agreement with the intensity consensus guidance. The tropical cyclone is beginning to accelerate north-northeastward, estimated at 020/14 kt. There is little change in the forecast track thinking, with a large mid-latitude trough moving into the U.S. East Coast that, in combination with a large subtropical ridge to the southeast, is expected to cause Ernesto to increase in forward speed along with a turn more northeastward over the next couple of days. On this track, Ernesto should make its closest approach to Newfoundland just to the southeast early Tuesday morning, with the bulk of the cyclone's wind field staying offshore of the Canadian Provence. After post-tropical transition, the cyclone is expected to turn east-northeastward until its absorbed by a larger extratropical cyclone. The track guidance this cycle was a bit slower and touch further west early on, but ultimately the latest NHC track forecast ends up very close to the prior one after 24 h. Key Messages: 1. Even though Ernesto is forecast to remain well offshore of the U.S. East Coast, swells generated by the hurricane are expected to affect the area through the early part of this week. 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.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ernesto was located near latitude 36.1 North, longitude 62.5 West. Ernesto is moving toward the north-northeast near 16 mph (26 km/h) and some increase in forward speed is forecast today, followed by a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast on Monday and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto will pass near southeastern Newfoundland late Monday into Tuesday morning. Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher gusts. Some strengthening is possible today and Ernesto is forecast to regain hurricane status. The cyclone is forecast to become post-tropical after it passes by southeastern Newfoundland by Tuesday morning. Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km) from the center. The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 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 portions of the Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada. Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions are likely in these areas during the next couple of days. 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. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 PM AST. $$ Forecaster Papin

Tropical Storm Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 27

National Hurricane Center - Sun, 08/18/2024 - 3:56am
Issued at 500 AM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 180855 CCA TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Ernesto Discussion Number 27...Corrected NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 500 AM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 Corrected text of second key message. Ernesto's cloud pattern hasn't changed much overnight, and lacks a well-defined eye feature. Deep convection has been trying to wrap around the eastern portion of the circulation, giving the system a fairly symmetric overall appearance. The current intensity estimate is held at 60 kt which is in good agreement with the latest objective, AID, estimates from UW-CIMSS. Subjective Dvorak satellite estimates are somewhat lower. Unfortunately the most recent scatterometer overpasses missed most of the circulation. The tropical cyclone continues on a rather slow north-northeastward heading, with an initial motion estimate of 025/8 kt. The steering flow on the east side of a large mid-tropospheric trough approaching the U.S. east coast should cause an increase in forward speed during the next day or so along with a turn toward the northeast. In 2-3 days, Ernesto is likely to turn toward the east-northeast with additional acceleration as it becomes embedded in the mid-latitude westerlies over the north Atlantic. The track guidance models remain in good agreement, and little changes to the previous NHC track forecast were required. Ernesto is still over warm waters, and should remain over SSTs of at least 27 deg C for the next 24 hours or so. Also, vertical wind shear is forecast to remain low today with upper-level divergence diagnosed over the area by the SHIPS model diagnostics. These environmental factors favor a short period of restrengthening today, and this reflected in the official forecast. In 36-48 hours, the cyclone will encounter much cooler waters and this should cause weakening. Simulated IR satellite imagery from the global models show an increasingly asymmetric cloud structure by the time the system passes near Newfoundland, and the official forecast indicates post-tropical transition by 48 hours. Ernesto is predicted to open up and become a large trough over the northeastern Atlantic by 96 hours. Key Messages: 1. Even though Ernesto is forecast to remain well offshore of the U.S. East Coast, swells generated by the hurricane are expected to affect the area through early next week. 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. Surf and rip currents are also possible on the Bahamas, Bermuda, and Atlantic Canada during the next few days. 2. Ernesto could bring wind and wave impacts to portions of southeastern Newfoundland late Monday and Monday night.
