And now a storm that may bring us some bad weather…
From the weather guys…. Apparently…the highly mountainous terrain of the southwestern peninsula of Haiti has disrupted the circulation of Ernesto. The
low-level center has become broad and ill-defined…the minimum pressure has risen to about 1004 mb…and the highest observed flight-level winds were 42 kt. It is presumed that stronger winds are occurring in the northeast quadrant of the cyclone very near the coastline of Haiti. The current intensity is set…perhaps generously…at 50 kt. Since Ernesto will be moving over the waters to the southwest of the Windward Passage and upper-level winds are conducive for trengthening… there is a window of opportunity for the system to regain hurricane status prior to crossing the southern coast of eastern Cuba tomorrow (Monday) morning. Stay turned for updates… The Latest is Here!
