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 on
Sunday.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Ernesto was
located near latitude 33.9 North, longitude 63.3 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 8 mph (13 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue through tonight. An
acceleration toward the north-northeast is forecast to begin on
Sunday, with a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast
occurring on Monday and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center
of Ernesto will move away from Bermuda tonight and pass near
southeastern Newfoundland late Monday and Monday night.
Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 70 mph (110 km/h)
with higher gusts. Little change in strength is expected tonight.
Some intensification is possible Sunday and Sunday night, 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 likely 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 through Saturday night 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.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 800 PM AST (0000 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
located near latitude 33.5 North, longitude 63.7 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this slow
motion is expected to continue through tonight. An acceleration
toward the north-northeast is forecast to begin on Sunday, with a
turn toward the northeast and east-northeast occurring on Monday and
Tuesday. On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto will slowly
move away from Bermuda through tonight and pass near southeastern
Newfoundland late Monday and Monday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. No significant change in strength is forecast during the
next 48 hours, and Ernesto should remain near or at hurricane
strength through Monday. The cyclone will likely become
post-tropical near southeastern Newfoundland by Monday night or
Tuesday morning.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from
the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230
miles (370 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 976 mb (28.82 inches).

----------------------
Key messages for Ernesto can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC

WIND: Tropical storm conditions are likely to continue on Bermuda
for the next several hours.
STORM SURGE: Coastal flooding is still possible on Bermuda in areas

TCDAT5
Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 25
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024
500 PM AST Sat Aug 17 2024
Recent infrared and microwave imagery indicate show that Ernesto's
convective activity is a little thin, with the deepest convection
located in a small band just north of the center. Subjective and
objective satellite intensity estimates have decreased through the
day, and combined with the earlier data from the Hurricane Hunter
aircraft--which only measured 700-mb wind of 74 kt--it is estimated
that Ernesto's maximum sustained winds are near 65 kt.
Ernesto has slowed down during the day while moving away from
Bermuda, and the initial motion is north-northeastward (030
degrees) at 5 kt. This slow motion is likely to continue for the
next 12 hours or so, before the flow increases ahead of an
approaching trough and causes Ernesto to accelerate toward the
north-northeast on Sunday. The cyclone is forecast to turn
northeastward on Monday, and model guidance continues to show the
center passing just to the southeast of Newfoundland late Monday or
Monday night. After passing Newfoundland, Ernesto is expected to
accelerate further toward the east-northeast over the north
Atlantic. The track guidance is very tightly packed through 72
hours, and no significant changes were required from the previous
NHC forecast.
Despite Ernesto's recent weakening, the hurricane will move over
warm waters of 28 degrees Celsius and within a light-shear
environment for the next 24 hours or so. The storm's current broad
structure may not allow for significant strengthening within this
otherwise favorable environment, but many of the dynamical
hurricane models, global models, and consensus aids suggest that
Ernesto could re-intensity by 5-10 kt over the next day or so.
This is reflected in the official intensity forecast. Weakening
should begin by 48 hours due increasing shear and Ernesto moving
over colder waters north of the Gulf Stream, and the cyclone is
likely to become post-tropical by 60 hours while it is passing near
southeastern Newfoundland. The GFS and ECMWF models indicate that
dissipation should occur by day 4 when the circulation opens up
into a trough over the north Atlantic.
Key Messages:
1. Ernesto is moving slowly, and its impacts on Bermuda are
not over. Strong winds, heavy rainfall, coastal flooding, and
battering waves should continue through tonight. 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.

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
Sunday morning.
For storm information specific to your area, please monitor
products issued by your national meteorological service.
DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
located near latitude 33.3 North, longitude 64.0 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 6 mph (9 km/h), and this
slow motion is expected to continue through tonight. An
acceleration toward the north-northeast is forecast to begin on
Sunday, with a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast
occurring on Monday and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the
center of Ernesto will slowly move away from Bermuda through
tonight and pass near southeastern Newfoundland late Monday and
Monday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher
gusts. No significant change in strength is forecast during the
next 48 hours, and Ernesto should remain near or at hurricane
strength through Monday. The cyclone will likely become
post-tropical near southeastern Newfoundland by Monday night or
Tuesday morning.
Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 60 miles (95 km) from the
center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles
(370 km).
The estimated minimum central pressure is 976 mb (28.82 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 likely to continue on Bermuda
through tonight, with hurricane-force gusts possible in rainbands.
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 (25 to 50 mm) of rainfall through tonight 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, especially in low-lying areas.
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.

DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
located near latitude 33.0 North, longitude 64.2 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 7 mph (11 km/h), and this
general motion is expected to continue through early Sunday. An
acceleration toward the north-northeast should begin later on
Sunday, with a turn toward the northeast and east-northeast
occurring late Monday into Tuesday. On the forecast track, the
center of Ernesto will slowly move away from Bermuda today and pass
near southeastern Newfoundland late Monday and Monday night.
Maximum sustained winds are near 80 mph (130 km/h) with higher
gusts. Little change in strength is forecast during the next 48
hours.

Hurricane Ernesto Forecast Discussion Number 24

WTNT45 KNHC 171453
TCDAT5
Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 24
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024
1100 AM AST Sat Aug 17 2024
An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft made a couple of
passes through Ernesto this morning and only found 700-mb flight
level winds as high as 74 kt--significantly lower than the maximum
winds reported by the mission yesterday evening and overnight. The
initial intensity is therefore set at 70 kt for this advisory, and
even that could be a bit generous. Although the central pressure
has not risen much, Ernesto's wind field has continued to expand,
and the hurricane is now exhibiting a large rain-free center region
that is just about to move past Bermuda.
The forward motion has slowed a bit more and is now estimated to be
north-northeastward (025 degrees) at 7 kt. Ernesto has been left
behind by a shortwave trough now located near Newfoundland, and
therefore a continued slow motion toward the north-northeast is
forecast for the next day or so until another trough to the west
gets closer. Ernesto should begin accelerating on Sunday as it
heads toward Atlantic Canada, turning northeastward and passing
very near southeastern Newfoundland late Monday and Monday night.
The guidance has again slowed down on this cycle, and the NHC
forecast has been adjusted accordingly.
Although deep-layer shear is forecast to diminish a bit during the
next 24 hours while Ernesto remains over waters of 28 degrees
Celsius, the structure of the hurricane and dry air within the
circulation suggest that the storm may not be able to re-intensity
much, if at all. The NHC intensity forecast is near the top end of
the guidance and does keep Ernesto as a hurricane for the next 48
hours. Weakening is expected after that time, and global model
fields suggest Ernesto should become extratropical by 72 hours
while or just after passing Newfoundland. A 96-hour point is
provided for continuity, but both the GFS and ECMWF indicate that
the circulation could open up into a trough over the north Atlantic
by then.
Key Messages:
1. Ernesto is moving slowly, and its impacts on Bermuda are
not over. Strong winds, heavy rainfall, coastal flooding, and
battering waves are likely through tonight. 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.
