Hurricane Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 34

Mon, 08/19/2024 - 9:31pm
Issued at 1100 PM AST Mon Aug 19 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 200231 TCDAT5 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 Forecast Discussion Number 33

Mon, 08/19/2024 - 3:36pm
Issued at 500 PM AST Mon Aug 19 2024 967 WTNT45 KNHC 192036 TCDAT5 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.

Hurricane Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 32

Mon, 08/19/2024 - 9:48am
Issued at 1100 AM AST Mon Aug 19 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 191448 TCDAT5 Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 32 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 1100 AM AST Mon Aug 19 2024 Ernesto continues to slowly gain strength. Satellite images indicate that the eye of the hurricane has become a little better defined, but the storm still has a convective asymmetry with the strongest thunderstorms on the north side. The latest Dvorak estimates from TAFB and SAB were 4.5/77 kt and the objective satellite guidance is a little higher. Based on the data and the improved structure, the initial wind speed is increased to 80 kt. A very recent ASCAT pass indicated that Ernesto remains a large tropical cyclone. The strongest winds and largest radius of hurricane and tropical-storm-force winds are located in the southeastern quadrant. The hurricane is gradually accelerating to the north-northeast, or 30 degrees at 19 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 is similar to the previous one and near the middle of the guidance envelope. Ernesto is now crossing the north wall of the Gulf Stream, and will soon be moving over sharply cooler SSTs. In addition, the hurricane will be moving into an environment of stronger shear and drier air. All of these conditions should lead to weakening very soon and extratropical transition, which is expected to be complete by early Tuesday. The NHC intensity forecast is similar to the previous one, and follows the GFS guidance during the extratropical phase. 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.

SUMMARY OF 1100 AM AST...1500 UTC...INFORMATION ----------------------------------------------- LOCATION...41.8N 58.5W ABOUT 320 MI...515 KM SE OF HALIFAX NOVA SCOTIA ABOUT 430 MI...695 KM SW OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...90 MPH...150 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NE OR 40 DEGREES AT 28 MPH...44 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...968 MB...28.59 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: None. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect. Interests in southeastern Newfoundland should monitor the progress of Ernesto. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was located near latitude 41.8 North, longitude 58.5 West. Ernesto is moving toward the northeast near 28 mph (44 km/h). A turn toward the northeast and east-northeast with an increase in forward speed 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 are near 90 mph (150 km/h) with higher gusts. Weakening is forecast, and Ernesto is expected to become a post-tropical cyclone by early 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 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. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 PM AST. $$ Forecaster Cangialosi/Nepaul
