TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO UPGRADE TO HURRICANE

Ernesto Puts The Brakes On, Florence Downgraded Vis0-lalo-1

After Ernesto really became an open wave yesterday, according to the data from the Hurricane Hunters, he has put the brakes on. It appears he is now moving well under 10mph and towards the WNW or NW. Then again, it may be from the explosion of thunderstorms expanding outwards that is giving this appearance. We know from past experience with this storm, we can't trust our eyes when evaluating intensity by looking at satellite presentation. Of course, it is way to early to tell the direction of movement. Hurricane Hunters are presently flying into the storm. I think they will find winds of 60mph or over and pressures below 1000, but, will all know soon enough.

It appears Ernesto has found the sweet spot we have been talking about for a couple of days.

The models, for the most part, agree to the future track of Ernesto.

Ernesto Puts The Brakes On, Florence Downgraded Storm_05

Well, one of the models are getting a little feisty with a Northerly component near the end of the run.

Current steering for the storm. The CONUS Trough

You can clearly see the weakness created by the trough digging through the US

Ernesto Puts The Brakes On, Florence Downgraded Steering

Ernesto Puts The Brakes On, Florence Downgraded LATEST_NAGOES_WV-1

People have been asking why or what will make Ernesto move to the NW to miss the Northern Coast of Honduras and Nicaragua. This trough and weakness in the ridge is your culprit. In fact, this weakness is responsible for the slowdown of Ernesto at the moment. Now, if he was a much stronger system at the moment the forecast track would look much different. But, that's not the case. I would expect , barring any major rapid intensification to a major Hurricane really fast, that Ernesto will be unable to reach the Central Gulf of Mexico and threaten the Gulf Coast States. The forecast track is for a continued motion into the Yucatan and make landfall near Belize City. But, this is Tropical Weather and one should never let their guard down with these systems. You never know with these things.

Florence is going POOF!

TROPICAL DEPRESSION FLORENCE DISCUSSION NUMBER 10
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL062012
500 AM AST MON AUG 06 2012

FLORENCE CONTINUES TO WEAKEN. THE CYCLONE HAS BEEN DEVOID OF DEEP
CONVECTION FOR ABOUT 6 HOURS AS DRY AIR...AS SEEN IN THE DUST
PRODUCT FROM THE GOES-R PROVING GROUND...HAS BECOME WELL EMBEDDED
IN THE CIRCULATION. DVORAK CLASSIFICATIONS CONTINUE TO FALL AND
SUPPORT DOWNGRADING FLORENCE TO A TROPICAL DEPRESSION WITH AN
INITIAL WIND SPEED OF 30 KT. THE DEPRESSION IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
IN A STABLE ENVIRONMENT AND OVER RELATIVELY COOL WATERS FOR THE
NEXT DAY OR SO. ALTHOUGH FLORENCE IS FORECAST TO MOVE OVER WARMER
WATERS BEYOND 36 HOURS...STRONG WESTERLY SHEAR WILL BEGIN TO IMPACT
THE CYCLONE BY THEN. THE NEW NHC FORECAST CALLS FOR FLORENCE TO
DEGENERATE TO A REMNANT LOW IN 24 TO 36 HOURS...BUT THIS COULD
OCCUR AS SOON AS LATER TODAY IF CONVECTION DOES NOT REDEVELOP SOON.
DISSIPATION IS FORECAST IN 4 TO 5 DAYS.

THE INITIAL MOTION REMAINS DUE WEST BUT AT A SLIGHTLY SLOWER
PACE...270/10. THE MODELS AGREE THAT FLORENCE...OR ITS REMNANT
LOW...SHOULD TURN WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AND ACCELERATE IN THE
LOW-LEVEL FLOW TO THE SOUTH OF A SUBTROPICAL HIGH. THE OFFICIAL
FORECAST IS ADJUSTED A LITTLE TO THE SOUTH AND IS IN GOOD AGREEMENT
WITH THE LATEST ECMWF RUN.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

Bwaaahahaha at the sponsor for the blog this morning!!!!!

Thanks for the Monday morning coffee reading, e ! Ernest is worse than a woman....can't make up his mind for any length of time!!!!

btw....it was so nice to be able to look at the steering map, and be able to see the trough, and the weakness it was creating. HUGE kudos go out to you and Gomey for all of your great explanations in the chat room, on how to read and understand various maps and charts!!!!

The biggest thing I see at the moment he is definitely, finally getting stronger. And, the center has shifted to the NE. This should begin a period of a more NW or WNW track. He is still WAY to weak to feel any long term effects of the trough even though it is causing the change in movement at the moment. After the trough moves out of the way, High builds back and Westward he goes. When a ridge builds back where the TUTT is, a more WSW he will go. IMO.

You should see the models shift in the short tern once the new coordinates are imputed into the computers. How this would affect the long term guidance, I don't know. If this pattern keeps up and the movement is more to the NW, then we will see a long term change.

We shall see how things play out throughout the day. A lot could happen..

Readings of 72 knot and 77 knot ( 89 mpg ) flight level winds, which have been observed on the last pass, would calculate very close to Hurricane strength for sure at the surface.

Beautiful view of Ernesto. You can nicely see the blow up of storms near the COC and convective bands developing and feelding in. If there were not a HH in the storm I would not even say this was a strengthening storm Very close if not a hurricane at the moment. LOL

What web page shows the RI Flag status?
What is the current forward motion of Ernesto?

You can see the HH going in for another pass at the center. Notice the little tropical storm emblem in the lower left. This was the previous, 8 am position. Then you can see the jump to the NE when Ernesto began to intensify rapidly.
After this jump, he has moved to the NW and the newest center is 994. This jumping around is common during a cyclone that in intensifying this quickly, especially one with a confirmed 6 mile closed eye.

LMAO.

It is amazing what a little shift in the location and strength will do to the models. Starting to spread apart again. Even tho most are still clustered

Maybe those models are factoring in a stronger Ernesto, and think the trough will have a bigger influence...

What some models may be seeing is trough meet inverted trough which would split the Texas High from the Bermuda High leaving a path between the two for Ernesto

Guess there certainly is NO question on the current motion of movement for Ernesto over the past 5 hours or so. Not just a wobble . That is about as Northwest as it gets.
