Post-Tropical Cyclone Ernesto Discussion Number 36
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024
300 PM GMT Tue Aug 20 2024
Strong southwesterly vertical wind shear and cold sea-surface
temperatures have caused Ernesto to lose tropical characteristics
this morning. The cyclone lacks organized convection, and the
low-level center is becoming exposed as dry air wraps into the
circulation. Also, GFS phase diagrams indicate Ernesto no longer has
a warm-core structure. Thus, it appears the cyclone has completed
its transition to a post-tropical cyclone. Despite these structural
changes, nearby ship observations indicate Ernesto remains a
powerful cyclone with storm-force winds in its southern semicircle.
Based on these observations, the initial intensity is set at 60 kt.
The post-tropical cyclone is moving quickly northeastward (055/32
kt) within the flow between a deep-layer trough over the north
Atlantic and a subtropical ridge over the central Atlantic. An even
faster east-northeastward motion is forecast through Wednesday as
the cyclone remains embedded within strong steering currents. The
system is forecast to merge with a frontal system and become
extratropical by tonight, and the low should dissipate on Wednesday
over the northeastern Atlantic. Although some weakening is expected
during the next day or so, the cyclone will maintain a large wind
field to the south of its center.
This is the last NHC advisory on Ernesto. Additional information on
this system can be found in High Seas Forecasts issued by the
National Weather Service, under AWIPS header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header
FZNT01 KWBC, and online at ocean.weather.gov/shtml/NFDHSFAT1.php
