Got up this AM to way more wind then yesterday! Currently it's gusting to 40 mph. A quick check of local weather stations indicates the pressure is still falling in NW Broward, it seems Ernesto slowed down (from 14 to 8 mph) so he is not done yet. He is currently located in the middle of Everglades somewhere between US41 Tamiami Trail and I-75 Alligator Alley. For businesses that decided to stay closed today that turned out to be a good call cause it's kind of sloppy with stiff breeze out there right now. Looking at the radar it's dry to the east but to the south there is still alot of moisture that Ernesto will drag up the coast through out the day. Last night all the local mets indicated the "worst is over" now for the Keys that's ture, but for the Dade / Broward / Palm Beach area it appears today is going to be more "tropical" then yesterday.

Appears the offical (mainland) landfall was just east of Flamingo in Everglades National Park, it never did drift west enough to reach the Marco Island / Naples area after all.
