Hurricane Ernesto Midday

No,
Ernesto simply doesn't have the time over open water to grow the way Charlie did. That's what I'm trying to say. Everyone was saying "what if it makes a sudden turn" but no one was realizing the paths were so different.

Based on the recon data, Ernesto has practically bitten the dust, at least for the time being. They've been in the NW and SE quadrants and the highest FL winds reported so far were 30 knots.
Pressure is probably lower than what the recon had it as, since the surface center was reported to be displaced from the flight-level center by 21 miles. The FL fix was generally NW of the previous one, though more of a WNW motion is suggested if you consider the location of the surface center compared to the FL center.
