3:30pm Tropical Weather Update

Image
Ernesto's eye is about 100 miles to the northeast of Bermuda and it is moving away from the island.  There's nothing else out there for the next seven days -- at least. That is very good news!

Ernesto Just Passed Bermuda

Image
The eye is outlined in purple. You can see the outline of the island at the lower left part of the eye.  Ernesto will pass south or near of Newfoundland as a post-tropical low pressure system with 70 mph winds. 

7pm Update on Ernesto - Closing in on Bermuda

Image
 Currently, Ernesto has 100 mph winds that will weaken to 85 mph when the eye moves over the island tomorrow morning.  Below is the Bermuda radar as of 6:43pm (latest available). I've enhanced the eye in pink. 

Ernesto to Strike Bermuda Saturday Morning

Image
Maximum winds with Ernesto are 100 mph but, hopefully, they will weaken to 85 mph when it is striking Bermuda.   Dangerous rip currents will occur along the U.S. East Coast.  Once past Bermuda, the storm may brush Newfoundland but is more likely to stay over the Atlantic. 

5pm EDT Update on Ernesto

Image
Note: Dangerous rip currents are expected along the U.S. Atlantic Coast starting tomorrow. Drownings almost always increase during these periods. 4pm EDT satellite image of Ernesto Hurricane warning continues for Bermuda.  The storm's current winds are 85 mph and are forecast to increase to 100 mph when it is in the vicinity of Bermuda. The satellite images the past hour indicate, perhaps, a better organized eye which would be a sign of increasing intensity.  I'll provide an update late tomorrow morning.
