Shear beginning to pound Ernesto again. W side of CDO flattening and convection being driven N/NW. This is where Ernesto slows down and jogs more NW in response, or the shear puts the wammy on him. The ULL is moving W/NW, but not as fast as some are forecasting.

Why is that a laugh? Evidentally they don't think it'll turn, or they're still using yesterday's guidance
I have seen many, many times where the "global" models overestimate troughs and erode ridges too quickly this time of year. Just a consideration and I will be curious to see what our pro mets say.
I would bank more on any guidance come Monday as I suspect it will change further.

The shear is decreasing though so I don't think Ernesto is getting hammered.

Agreed. It does not appear to me that shear is going to be a problem for Ernie. He's been dealing well with what shear he has encountered thus far and, as forecast, the shear appears to be diminishing. I still say he'll be a cat 1 tonight some time.

Does he truly look like a storm that is being "pounded" to you???
Edited to correct quoted text.
Did you look at the shear map?

Central Dense Overcast....that area of very strong thunderstorms that surround the eye and eyewall....that big "blob" area. Right now Ernesto does not have a CDO since the center is to the NW of the blob. But if he had an eye in the center of that convection, that convection would be the CDO.

Good point... CDO should be reserved for storms that arent badly sheared... but CDO doesnt have to have an eye. Your correction speaks to my point though... lots of shear. Holding his own for now.

You're correct...it doesn't have to have an eye. I just said that so a mental picture could be made

With all due respect, this is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a storm that is being "badly sheared."

If you look at the shear tendency map, the shear is decreasing. Plus right he's over 10-20 kt shear so he's not getting pounded yet.

May some pro-mets come here and evaluate whether Ernesto is getting pounded or not?
