The
Tropical Weather Outlook
At
8am EDT, the center of TS Ernesto was located at 17.8N, 84.4W or
about 175 miles (See Fig 2), NE (53º)
of Roatan. Maximum sustained winds are 65 mph and the barometric
pressure is 989 mb. TS Ernesto is moving WNW (300º)
at 13 mph. The approximate Closest Point of Approach (CPA) for the
center of Ernesto is located near 18.2N, 85.9W or about 132.1 miles
(212.6 km) north from CoCoView. The estimated time of when the center
of the storm will be at that location is Tuesday, August 7 at 5:30PM
EDT. (See Fig 1)
Ernesto
is forecast to become a hurricane before it reaches the Yucatan
peninsula late tonight.
Elsewhere, a tropical wave continues to produce an area of showers and thunderstorms several hundred miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands. The circulation associated with the wave remains
elongated...and upper-level winds are only currently marginally
conducive for development. This system has a low chance...20
percent...of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours as it moves westward at about 10 mph.
