EAST COAST FROM FLORIDA TO NEW ENGLAND LIKELY TO BE IMPACTED BY ERNESTO

The next 24 hours will help to shape what comes after that. Ernesto is almost completely off of Cuba and should soon start to strengthen in the warm waters of the Atlantic. With all that has happened with this storm, it is hard to believe that we were looking at a possible central Gulf Coast landfall just a few days ago. As it looks now, Ernesto will make landfall in south Florida either late tomorrow night or early Wednesday morning as a strong tropical storm or category one hurricane. I have already heard that gas is in short supply in some area of south Florida as people prepare for yet another hurricane threat. The good news here is that Ernesto is not very well organized this evening as it has been battered by mountains and the general terrain of Cuba and Haiti. Hopefully there will not be enough time for it to get its act together and cause too many problems. Either way, people need to be ready. Power outages are again a real possibility for south Florida and points north. After Wilma last year, a lot of people probably have generators. Make sure you use fresh fuel this time around and keep the generator outside when running it. Beyond Florida, Ernesto is forecast to move northward just off the Southeast coast and then make landfall in the Carolinas. If this happens as forecast, most of eastern North Carolina would be on the east side of the circulation which could lead to stronger winds and heavier rains than if Ernesto were to track farther to the east. This still might happen and anyone in the Carolinas and Georgia should pay close attention to the future track. I must remind everyone too that intensity forecasting has limited skill. The forecast for Ernesto does not look too bad- but as we have seen, it is possible that it could be stronger than currently forecast. I just don't want people to take it lightly since it is not looking too ferocious at the moment- be ready.

 

[Captain Logan]

Man! MOST of you are lucky when it comes down to the house... When we board, we might not have power... I know it still stinks for the cruise though. GO AWAY ERNESTO!

 

[NJBILL]

you mean like wearing a yellow Corona hat and flip flops?

Guilty as charged

I just saw some nautica luggage here at the station,but its $350 per piece..its the perfect shade of yellow..if i were only richer...

TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO DISCUSSION NUMBER 17
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL052006
500 PM EDT MON AUG 28 2006

THE CENTER IS NOT WELL DEFINED ON HIGH-RESOLUTION VISIBLE IMAGES AND
SYNOPTIC SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM CUBA SHOW LITTLE EVIDENCE OF A
CENTER. BUT BASED ON OBSERVATIONS FROM AN AIR FORCE HURRICANE
HUNTER AIRCRAFT FLYING ALONG THE NORTH COAST OF CUBA...THE CENTER
IS JUST INLAND OF THE NORTH COAST. THE SYSTEM BECAME QUITE
DISORGANIZED... WITH MOST OF THE DEEP CONVECTION LEFT BEHIND NEAR
THE EASTERN TIP OF CUBA. SOME OF THIS DISORGANIZATION MAY BE DUE
TO THE INFLUENCE OF A SMALL UPPER LOW JUST TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST
OF ERNESTO. RECENTLY...HOWEVER...SOME NEW CELLS OF DEEP CONVECTION
ARE NOW DEVELOPING NEAR THE ESTIMATED CENTER. WE EXPECT SOME
RE-STRENGTHENING TO OCCUR AFTER ERNESTO MOVES OVER THE ATLANTIC
WATERS TO THE NORTH OF CUBA. HOWEVER SINCE THE INNER CORE HAS BEEN
DISRUPTED BY THE CYCLONE'S PASSAGE OVER LAND...IT IS NOT
ANTICIPATED THAT THIS STRENGTHENING WILL BE RAPID. IN FACT...THE
SHIPS-BASED RAPID INTENSIFICATION INDEX SHOWS A LESS THAN 20
PERCENT CHANCE FOR RAPID STRENGTHENING. THE OFFICIAL FORECAST GOES
WITH A BLEND OF THE SHIPS...GFDL...AND FSU SUPERENSEMBLE GUIDANCE
AND KEEPS THE SYSTEM JUST BELOW HURRICANE STRENGTH BEFORE THE
FORECAST LANDFALL IN SOUTHERN FLORIDA. A TROPICAL STORM WARNING IS
BEING ISSUED FOR PORTIONS OF FLORIDA AND THE NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS
AT THIS TIME. HOWEVER...SINCE THERE IS STILL A CHANCE FOR ERNESTO
TO REACH HURRICANE STATUS DURING THE NEXT 36 HOURS...THE HURRICANE
WATCH REMAINS IN PLACE FOR THE WARNED AREAS IN FLORIDA AND THE
NORTHWESTERN BAHAMAS.

THE MOTION...310/11...IS UNCERTAIN BUT APPEARS TO BE A LITTLE FASTER
AND SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT OF THE PREVIOUS ESTIMATE. A MID-LEVEL
HIGH OVER THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. IS FORECAST TO SHIFT
EAST-SOUTHEASTWARD OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS A TROUGH MOVES
IN FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY. SOME OF THE TRACK GUIDANCE
SUCH AS THE GFS HAVE SHIFTED SLIGHTLY WESTWARD WHILE OTHERS HAVE
CHANGED LITTLE SINCE THE PREVIOUS RUN. THE OFFICIAL TRACK FORECAST
FOR THIS PACKAGE IS SLIGHTLY FASTER BUT OTHERWISE ABOUT THE SAME AS
THAT FROM THE PREVIOUS ADVISORY THROUGH 48 HOURS...AND VERY CLOSE
TO THE GFDL PREDICTION. IN 3-5 DAYS THE OFFICIAL TRACK HAS BEEN
SHIFTED WESTWARD IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LATEST MODEL CONSENSUS.

FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INITIAL 28/2100Z 21.3N 76.9W 35 KT

[Luv2Travel]

going. They outbid current employer. Course if both of them knew the amount of DIS'ing I have been doing.....

Congratulations Kerry!!

And Congratulations to Bill for being the first one on vacation!!! Hope you have safe travels and a great time at WDW when you get there!


Going to find Kerry's pictures and finish getting caught up . . . BBL

 

[Luv2Travel]

WOW, I went to find pictures of Kerry and her family and I found all sorts of pictures!! Way to go guys!

Oh man, I wish I had've written down the post numbers so I could go back and print out some copies. I need as big of a head start as I can get with putting faces to names!

But great pictures everybody - I can't wait to meet all of you!

 

[ReallyFunMom]

They are calling it a Tropical Storm now. That and the big glass of red wine I just downed are really helping with my nerves! I've got a full tank of gas to get me to the port, with any luck -- further weakening, maybe thats all the hurricane prep I have to do! I can pack!!

 

[JLSE50]

From page 703 post 10533 written 8-20-06

....Seriously, the only thing that changes with age is others' perceptions of you......The only way I have changed since my early 20's is that I have more confidence in who I am......

Oprah had this show where people in their 50's wrote letters to their younger selves, and I think all of them had the same theme - don't worry about all of these little things (especially getting older), and have more confidence in yourself. It's so true! I'm still a kid at heart, I just have a little more experience now. And so much more to come.

Well said Erica!!

Hehe I cheated and my mom took over sewing, I just get to cut things out and pin things and find thread and prepare buttons and clasps and such.. I got the easy part...
With dad gone, she's been awfully maternal. Took my brother and I shopping tonight and out to dinner (Subway, but still!)

Might as well let her sew while she wants to

LOL! See, you got the part that I hate! I made my husband do all the cutting. I'd rather do the actual sewing any day!
