Issued at 1100 AM AST Wed Aug 14 2024 000 WTNT45 KNHC 141455 TCDAT5 Hurricane Ernesto Discussion Number 12 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052024 1100 AM AST Wed Aug 14 2024 An Air Force Reserve Hurricane Hunter aircraft measured a peak 700-mb flight-level wind of 70 kt northeast of Ernesto's center, and the crew reported a 50 percent eyewall. In addition, Tail Doppler radar from the NOAA P-3 aircraft measured winds over 75 kt at an elevation of 500 meters. Based on these data, Ernesto is upgraded to a 65-kt hurricane. Ernesto continues to move northwestward, or 310/14 kt, but is expected to turn north-northwestward and northward later today and tonight as it moves through a break in the subtropical ridge caused by a deep-layer trough off the east coast of the United States. This trough is expected to leave Ernesto behind later this week, which should cause a reduction in speed on Saturday and Sunday while the storm is passing Bermuda. By early next week, a second trough moving across the eastern United States should cause Ernesto to accelerate toward the north and north-northeast over the waters south of Atlantic Canada. The track guidance is in good agreement during the first 48 hours, and the official forecast was only shifted slightly westward to account for Ernesto's recent motion. After 48 hours, there is more divergence in the track models, with the GFS on the eastern edge of the envelope while the ECMWF shows less turning and is on the western edge of the envelope. The NHC forecast has been nudged westward during this period and is very close to the dynamical hurricane models. Although Ernesto is moving over very warm waters, the hurricane might have to deal with bouts of increased shear and nearby dry air during the next several days. That said, the intensity guidance shows continued gradual strengthening, and the official forecast still reflects the possibility of Ernesto becoming a major hurricane in about 48 hours. Much of the intensity guidance has come down on the peak intensity this cycle, but for now we'll maintain continuity and wait to see if this trend continues. Key Messages: 1. Heavy rainfall will result in locally considerable flash flooding and mudslides today over the Virgin Islands and into portions of Puerto Rico. 2. Tropical storm conditions, especially in gusts, are expected to continue over the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Culebra, and Vieques through today. 3. Ernesto is likely to bring impacts to Bermuda late this week, and interests there should monitor the progress of this system. A Hurricane Watch may be required later today. 4. Even though Ernesto is forecast to remain well offshore the U.S. East Coast, swells generated by the storm are expected to reach the area late this week and into the weekend. Beach goers should be aware of a significant risk of life-threatening surf and rip currents, and stay out of the water if advised by lifeguards. Surf and rip currents are also possible on the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, the Turks and Caicos, and the Bahamas during the next few days.

SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for... * British Virgin Islands * U.S. Virgin Islands * Puerto Rico * Vieques and Culebra A Tropical Storm Warning means that tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area. Interests in Bermuda should monitor the progress of Ernesto. A hurricane watch may be required for the island later today. For storm information specific to your area in the United States, including possible inland watches and warnings, please monitor products issued by your local National Weather Service forecast office. For storm information specific to your area outside of the United States, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 1100 AM AST (1500 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was located near latitude 20.5 North, longitude 67.6 West. Ernesto is moving toward the northwest near 16 mph (26 km/h). A turn toward the north-northwest and north is expected later today and tonight, with a generally northward motion at a slower forward speed continuing through Saturday. On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto will continue to move away from Puerto Rico today, move across the western Atlantic during the next few days, and approach Bermuda Friday and Saturday. Data from Air Force Reserve and NOAA Hurricane Hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds have increased to near 75 mph (120 km/h) with higher gusts. Additional strengthening is forecast during the next couple of days. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 35 miles (55 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 230 miles (370 km). The estimated minimum central pressure is 991 mb (29.27 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. RAINFALL: Tropical Storm Ernesto is expected to produce total rain accumulations of 4 to 6 inches over the U.S and British Virgin Islands. Rainfall totals of 6 to 8 inches, with maximum amounts of 10 inches, are expected across southeastern Puerto Rico, with totals of 2 to 4 inches across northwestern Puerto Rico. Rainfall associated with Ernesto may begin to affect Bermuda on Thursday. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall associated with Tropical Storm Ernesto, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?rainqpf WIND: Tropical storm conditions, especially in gusts, will continue across the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Vieques, and Culebra through the day. SURF: Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. These swells will reach the southeastern Bahamas today, and Bermuda and the rest of the Bahamas on Thursday. Swells are expected to reach the east coast of the United States Thursday night and continue into the weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office. NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next intermediate advisory at 200 PM AST. Next complete advisory at 500 PM AST. $$ Forecaster Berg
