DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 200 PM AST (1800 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
located near latitude 30.0 North, longitude 66.1 West. Ernesto is
moving toward the north-northeast near 14 mph (22 km/h). This
general motion is expected to continue with a gradual slowdown by
Saturday. A faster northeastward motion is expected late this
weekend into early next week. On the forecast track, the center of
Ernesto is expected to pass near or over Bermuda on Saturday
morning.
Maximum sustained winds remain near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher
gusts. Some gradual weakening is forecast over the next day or so,
though some re-intensification is possible by early next week.
Ernesto remains a large tropical cyclone. Hurricane-force winds
extend outward up to 75 miles (120 km) from the center, and
tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 275 miles (445 km).
Saildrone SD-1068 located about 55 miles (90 km) north-northeast of
Ernesto's center, recently reported a sustained wind of 58 mph (94
km/h), with a gust up to 74 mph (119 km/h).
The minimum central pressure based on data from both Air Force and
NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft is 969 mb (28.61 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: Hurricane conditions are expected on Bermuda Saturday, with
tropical storm conditions likely beginning later this afternoon.
STORM SURGE: A dangerous storm surge is expected to produce
significant coastal flooding 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 total rain accumulations of
6 to 12 inches in Bermuda with isolated maximum amounts up to 15
inches. This rainfall will likely result in considerable
life-threatening flash flooding, especially in low-lying areas on
the island.
SURF: Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting portions of the
Turks and Caicos Islands, the Bahamas, and Bermuda. Swells are
expected to spread up the east coast of the United States later
today and continue into the weekend, and could reach portions of
Atlantic Canada by late Saturday. These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult
products from your local weather office, and stay out of the water
if advised by lifeguards.
