11PM Update
Ernesto, according to recon reports, has still not made landfall, and has held steady at 45MPH. Some of the warnings for the west coast have been dropped, and the storm itself is nearing landfall, moving slower to the north northwest.
8PM Update
All hurricane watches for Florida have been dropped. Ernesto has not strengthened.
Tropical Storm warnings remain.
Original Update
Tropical Storm Ernesto is currently in the Florida straits, maintaining 45mph winds, and has basically missed the opportunity today to strengthen all that much, it will cross into the southern tip of the state overnight and move through the middle of the state during the day exiting near New Smyrna Beach on the eastern shore, eventually heading toward the Carolinas.
In fact a hurricane watch has been issued for the east coast from north of Altamaha sound, Georgia to Cape Fear in North Carolina.
Ernesto will be primarily a rain event, some windy gusts will be felt and the threat for small isolated tornadoes may occur as the system gets closer. There will be sporadic power outages and those in its path will experience a poor day tomorow, but nothing all that bad other than lots of rain and gusty conditions.
Thankfully ernesto was kept in check by Hati and Cuba, keeping it from gaining too much on us.
Outside of Ernesto, you can find two waves in the Atlantic, one in the far east which has a chance over the next several days to develop more, but would be slow in doing so. Another area of low pressure west of that also has a slight chance.
Do you know of evacuations or closures for schools, business, shelters, ports, governments, etc? Let everyone know here
