It will certainly be interesting to watch Ernesto as he crosses over Mexico and heads towards the Pacific. Only a day over land, with both the Atlantic side and Pacific side to pull from, but the land is a lot more rugged than the YP is.

Mexico topography...he's got some mountains to get over now but not as high as the ones to his north...we'll see.

For now its moving over quite flat land but it will hit some harsh ground soon enough. Still the presentation of this system is very good right now, good job it didn't have more space.

Question: Now I am sure this has been asked but I have never seen it so I do appoligize. IF Ernesto survives and makes it to the EPAC and reforms stays intact whatever. Does it stay as Ernesto or does it assume an EPAC name? Thank you

He would keep his name, though it has not happened before that I am aware of.

We talked about this yesterday some. You're correct (about keeping the name) and the last time it happened was 1996.

Ernesto's final (or maybe not final?) burst is occurring in an impressive fashion. Despite being right on Mexico now at the furthest southern point in the BOC, a spinning top motion and new convective burst is occurring like he's strengthening! The upper levels must be perfect for such. If it took Gilbert's or Karl's track it might have gone through RI based on how well its doing now that close to landmass.

With that said, the rainfall and flooding look to be tremendous based on IR. It's in a perfect position and scenario to deliver the maximum amount of rain possible (like Debby only more impressive) on Mexico. It wouldn't surprise me to find the amounts going over 20 to 25 inches in some areas. I didn't hear much about preparations for this so the news could be bad.

The movement and track are also unique because it took a SW dive and maybe Ernesto could do that again. A lot of its southern convection is in the Epac now and wouldn't it be cool if it went due south directly down there.

Yesterday's Posts:

NHC Discussion at 11:00 pm EDT wrote:TECHNICAL ISSUES PREVENTED A RECON FLIGHT FROM INVESTIGATING ERNESTO THIS EVENING.

LOL. Even when recon is needed the most and at the most critical time to sample his peak winds, it fails. A perfect way to top off a pathetic system despite Ernesto becoming a 'cane and having a more impressive appearance in general during the last 48 hours.

NHC Discussion at 5:00 am EDT wrote:HURRICANE ERNESTO DISCUSSION NUMBER 28
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL052012

RADAR DATA FROM BELIZE SHOW THAT ERNESTO MADE LANDFALL ALONG THE
EAST COAST OF YUCATAN PENINSULA OF MEXICO AROUND THE TIME OF THE
PREVIOUS ADVISORY. SHORTLY BEFORE LANDFALL...AN AUTOMATED WEATHER
STATION ON BANCO CHINCHORRO ISLAND JUST OFF THE COAST OF MEXICO
REPORTED A MINIMUM PRESSURE OF 979.4 MB. SINCE THAT TIME...THE
CENTER OF ERNESTO HAS MOVED WESTWARD OVER THE SOUTHERN PORTION OF
THE YUCATAN PENINSULA. DURING THE PAST COUPLE OF HOURS THE EYE HAS
BECOME A LITTLE LESS DISTINCT IN RADAR IMAGERY...AND THE LAST COUPLE
OF GEOSTATIONARY SATELLITE PICTURES SHOW THE CLOUD TOPS WARMING.
THE INITIAL INTENSITY IS THEREFORE LOWERED TO 60 KT.

Umm, how can Ernesto still be a hurricane at 60 knots? And then just as I refreshed the page, they corrected it.

Eastern Pacific TWO

WITHIN THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS...A TROUGH OF LOW PRESSURE ALONG THE
WEST COAST OF MEXICO COULD BEGIN TO INTERACT WITH THE REMNANTS OF
ATLANTIC TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO. UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE ONLY
MARGINALLY CONDUCIVE FOR DEVELOPMENT...AND THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...
10 PERCENT...OF TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION OFF THE WEST-CENTRAL
COAST OF MEXICO DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO DISCUSSION NUMBER 34
NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL AL052012
400 PM CDT THU AUG 09 2012

SURFACE OBSERVATIONS FROM MEXICO INDICATE THAT ERNESTO MADE LANDFALL
ON THE COAST OF MEXICO JUST WEST OF THE CITY OF COATZACOALCOS AROUND
1800 UTC WITH AN ESTIMATED INTENSITY OF 50 KNOTS. SINCE THEN...
ERNESTO HAS MOVED FARTHER INLAND AND BEGUN TO WEAKEN GRADUALLY. THE
INITIAL INTENSITY HAS BEEN LOWERED TO 45 KNOTS...AND THESE WINDS
ARE PRIMARILY OCCURRING OVER WATER NORTH OF THE CENTER.

SINCE THE CENTER IS FORECAST TO MOVE FARTHER INLAND AND INTERACT
WITH HIGH TERRAIN...WEAKENING IS FORECAST. ERNESTO IS LIKELY TO
BECOME A REMANT LOW IN ABOUT A DAY OR TWO...HOWEVER TORRENTIAL
RAINS WILL CONTINUE...AND WILL LIKELY PRODUCE FLASH FLOODING OVER
MUCH OF SOUTHERN MEXICO FOR THE NEXT FEW DAYS.

THE BEST ESTIMATE OF THE INITIAL MOTION IS 265 DEGREES AT 9 KNOTS.
ERNESTO IS WELL EMBEDDED WITHIN THE FLOW SOUTH OF A HIGH PRESSURE
AREA...OVER NORTHERN MEXICO AND THE SOUTHERN UNITED STATES. THIS
FLOW PATTERN WILL FORCE ERNESTO ON A GENERAL WEST TO WEST-SOUTHWEST
TRACK OVER SOUTHERN MEXICO UNTIL DISSIPATION IN A DAY OR TWO.

ALTHOUGH ERNESTO IS FORECAST TO DISSIPATE OVER THE HIGH MOUNTAINS OF
MEXICO...GLOBAL MODELS ARE SUGGESTING A NEW TROPICAL CYCLONE COULD
DEVELOP IN THE EASTERN PACIFIC ASSOCIATED WITH THE MID-LEVEL
REMNANT CIRCULATION IN 3 DAYS OR SO.


FORECAST POSITIONS AND MAX WINDS

INIT 09/2100Z 18.1N 95.2W 45 KT 50 MPH...INLAND
12H 10/0600Z 18.0N 96.5W 30 KT 35 MPH...INLAND
