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.

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

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.
