Tropical Storm Ernesto is staying organized and is finally getting some of the energy it needs to intensify. It has done almost exactly as I predicted thus far, though not as far Easterly as I’d hoped. The best news is its speed; at 12 kts in a Northeasterly direction, the Florida Keys will see some rain but Miami will get a reminder of Hurricane Andrew. But if the storm can cross the gap across open water without significantly intensifying, Florida can breathe a sigh of relief even though The Sunshine State remains on full alert vs. Mother Nature.
Update: I do sometimes hate being right ALL the time, but Ernesto will be a powerful tropical storm over Florida for the next two days, followed by a quick exit to the East Coast south of St. Augustine and heading toward the Carolinas.
