Severe Weather Outlook
Hurricane Tracker: Ernesto
As of 10am Tuesday...
Tropical Storm Ernesto (45 mph) is swirling northwest at about 14 mph toward south Florida this morning. The center of the storm reemerged over water last night after meandering over Cuba for almost 20 hours. The storm will likely regain a little strength today, but probably will have trouble recapturing its former hurricane status. Heavy, flooding rainfall on the order of 5 to 10 inches (locally 15 inches) will be the main threat from Ernesto as it grinds over south Florida and the Keys later today and tonight.
Hurricane watches are in effect for much of south Florida and the northwest Bahamas. In addition, tropical storm warnings are posted for many of the same areas.
Meanwhile, a disturbance in the Atlantic Ocean about 625 miles southwest of the Cape Verde Islands has drawn forecasters' interest. Squally weather and gusty winds with the system have increased and become more concentrated over the last 12 hours. A depression could form within the next day or two as the disturbance plows westward.
