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.

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

2. Ernesto could bring wind, wave, and rain impacts to portions of

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.

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.
