I guess that's better news. One day over the Gulf Stream is not horrible. Not good, but not horrible.
Am I reading thhis correctly? Based on the color key of that graphic, the forecast for us in the Sandhills of NC is that Ernesto will be at tropical storm strength when he comes through?? I thought it is forecasted to strengthen as it left Florida and got into the Gulf Stream and hit the Carolinas as a hurricane? If this pans out, I will be happy. Of course, I will be even happier if Ernesto just dies on out.
I can't believe they left it as a TS. Every frame on the IR loop shows less convection and no rotation. Where the 11:00 position is supposed to be there's nothing but some light blue, maybe even white.
Oh well, I'll catch up with it in the morning.
is this it, it looks like it's over as a serious threat?
