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. 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.

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.

moving toward the north-northeast near 9 mph (15 km/h), and some
increase in forward speed is forecast later 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 and Monday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some re-intensification is possible later today, and Ernesto
could regain hurricane status. The cyclone will likely become
post-tropical near southeastern Newfoundland by Monday night or
Tuesday morning.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km)
from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 978 mb (28.88 inches).

CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY:
None.
SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT:
A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for...
* Bermuda
A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are
expected somewhere within the warning area.
Interests in southeastern Newfoundland should monitor the progress
of Ernesto. A watch may be required for a portion of this area
later today.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ernesto was
located near latitude 34.2 North, longitude 63.1 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 8 mph (13 km/h), and some
increase in forward speed is forecast to begin later today, followed
by a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast on Monday and
Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto will continue
moving away from Bermuda today and pass near southeastern
Newfoundland late Monday and Monday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 70 mph (110 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some re-intensification is possible later today or tonight,
and Ernesto could regain hurricane status. The cyclone will likely
become post-tropical near southeastern Newfoundland by Monday night
or Tuesday morning.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 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.
WIND: Tropical storm conditions are expected to continue on Bermuda
for the next few hours.
STORM SURGE: Coastal flooding is still possible on Bermuda in areas
of onshore winds. Near the coast, the surge will be accompanied by
large and destructive waves.
RAINFALL: Ernesto is expected to produce an additional 1 to 2 inches
or 25 to 50 mm of rainfall across Bermuda, with storm total amounts
of 7 to 9 inches (175 to 225 mm). This rainfall will likely result
in considerable life-threatening flash flooding to the island.
SURF: Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting portions of the
Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic
Canada today. Life-threatening surf and rip current conditions are
likely in these areas during the next couple of days. Please
consult products from your local weather office, and stay out of the
water if advised by lifeguards.

Tropical Storm Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 26

Tropical Storm Ernesto Discussion Number 26

Satellite imagery and radar data from Bermuda continue to show
limited convection associated with Ernesto, with the strongest
convection in a poorly-defined eyewall in the northern semicircle.
This is likely due to a tongue of dry air wrapping around the
system from the northwest into the central core. The various
subjective and objective satellite intensity estimates have
decreased a little more since the last advisory, and based on this
the initial intensity is lowered to 60 kt.
The initial motion is 030/7 kt. This slow motion should continue
for the next 6-12 h as a mid-latitude shortwave ridge passes to the
north of Ernesto. After that, southwesterly flow on the east side
of a mid-latitude trough moving through the eastern United States
should cause the cyclone to accelerate to the north-northeast,
northeast, and eventually east-northeast. This motion should bring
the center just southeast of Newfoundland late Monday and Monday
night, with the system moving into the open north Atlantic
thereafter. The track guidance remains tightly clustered, and the
new forecast track has only minor changes from the previous track.
Little change in strength is expected tonight while Ernesto tries
to mix out the dry air tongue. After that, upper-level divergence
is forecast to increase while the cyclone is still over relatively
warm water. This could allow some modest re-intensification as
show by the dynamical models, and this remains reflected in the
intensity forecast. After 36 h, the cyclone should weaken as it
moves over colder water and begins extratropical transition.
Transition should be complete by 60 h, and and the post-tropical low
is expected to degenerate to a trough over the northeastern
Atlantic between 72-96 h.
Key Messages:
1. Ernesto is still moving slowly, and its impacts on Bermuda are
not quite over. Strong winds, heavy rainfall, coastal flooding, and
battering waves should continue for a few more hours. The heavy
rains will likely result in considerable life-threatening flash
flooding, especially in low-lying areas on the island.
2. Even though Ernesto is forecast to remain well offshore 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.
3. Ernesto could bring wind, wave, and rain impacts to portions of
southeastern Newfoundland late Monday and Monday night.
