Re: Ernesto Approaching Central America
|
We now have Hurricane Ernesto. Clearly, the satellite presentation continues to improve by the hour and now recon has confirmed another 5 mb pressure drop and a jump in surface wind to 75 or 80 mph. It also appears to be slightly north of the official forecast track, not that that will make much of a difference in the big picture. It doesn't have a ton of time left, but there is certainly room for some further strengthening before tonight's landfall.
