Tropical Storm Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 28

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. 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 Forecast Discussion Number 27

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.

Tropical Storm Ernesto Public Advisory Number 26A

Sun, 08/18/2024 - 12:48am
Issued at 200 AM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 000 WTNT35 KNHC 180548 TCPAT5 BULLETIN Tropical Storm Ernesto Intermediate Advisory Number 26A NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 200 AM AST Sun Aug 18 2024 ...DANGEROUS BEACH CONDITIONS EXPECTED ALONG THE U.S. EAST COAST THROUGH EARLY NEXT WEEK... SUMMARY OF 200 AM AST...0600 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...34.2N 63.1W ABOUT 165 MI...265 KM NE OF BERMUDA ABOUT 1010 MI...1625 KM SW OF CAPE RACE NEWFOUNDLAND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...70 MPH...110 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...NNE OR 30 DEGREES AT 8 MPH...13 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...978 MB...28.88 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- 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. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Pasch

Tropical Storm Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 26

Sat, 08/17/2024 - 9:38pm
Issued at 1100 PM AST Sat Aug 17 2024 757 WTNT45 KNHC 180238 TCDAT5 Tropical Storm Ernesto Discussion Number 26 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 1100 PM AST Sat Aug 17 2024 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.
