Ernesto: TS after leaving coast?

#1 Postby Josephine96 » Wed Aug 30, 2006 3:14 pm

Just saw my local radar and the thread with Ernesto's rather impressive reds and convection..

My gut feeling tells me that once Ernesto emerges off the Central Fla coast.. he'll become a TS again almost immediately.

This storm actually reminds me of Eryka a couple years ago. She was borderline TS when she made landfall, and then immediately was named a TS when she exited into the GOM.

Strange storms with the E's.

BTW.. Erin, Eryka and Ernesto.. 3 of the recent E storms to effect Central Florida. I'm guessing they like our area the E's do..

Remember when Disney was on individual ride tickets? And the "E" ride took the most tickets and gave the best thrills?? Perhaps Mother Natures own version of the E Ride ticket...

CHARLESTON COUNTY...WINDS OF
40 TO 50 MPH WITH GUSTS TO 60 MPH APPEAR LIKELY. SINCE ERNESTO WILL
REMAIN OVER THE ATLANTIC FOR ABOUT 18 TO 22 HOURS THERE IS STILL A
CHANCE THAT THE STORM MAY STRENGTHEN FURTHER AS IT APPROACHES THE
CHARLESTON COUNTY COAST.

I think all the naysayers are in for a big suprise come Thursday AM..

Bring on the crow!

Now now... E is no joke... jk...

Anyway...I think the system will probably exit as a TD but become a TS very soon after it moves offshore.. but that's just my opinion

I believe you're correct Meso...

It's not going to be automatically upgraded just cause it's over water..Now given a few hours, it should be with further deepening. GFDL has it at 981mb at landfall here.

:roll: As weird as E has been since he was born, it wouldn't surprise me if it became a Cat2 before 2nd landfall!!!

I think he may become a TS (or STS) while still on land...the pressure is still dropping. I also think he may be more subtropical now.

he seems to be "organizing" convection-wise as he approaches the Fla coast... almost as if he wants to get a head-start to strengthening :) Could Ernie have something he wants to prove :lol:

Looks like it may be off the coast right around the 8PM advisory. But if it holds up, it should be a TS by the 11PM. Again, that's IF it holds up.

Being a TS at 11 wouldn't surprise me, seems to be showing signs of trying to organize..
