Weak Ernesto making landfall in S Florida

Tropical storm Ernesto has not strengthened today, despite being over the warm waters of the Florida Strait, likely because of moderate easterly wind shear.  As of 2:00 pm EDT, the maximum sustained winds of Ernesto were a mere 45 mph, with tropical storm force winds extending 105 miles from the center.  The only threats Ernesto will pose as it makes landfall are isolated tornadoes and flooding rains of 5-10 inches.  Ernesto still could regain hurricane status after it re-emerges over the Atlantic, thus hurricane watches have been posted from the Georgia to souhtern North Carolina Coast.   Displayed below is a radar image and satellite images from around 5:00 CDT, and the NHC forecast track issued at 2:00 pm EDT.  Fortunately, we did not chase this weakly rotating fog bank.

Bad luck Reed and Co re Earnesto - the season is early and there's lots to come. You'll have to wait until you get a system with a chick's name, the female of the species are more violent with their tempers!! Will keep posted to your site for updates. Cheers mate!
