Ernesto never had it. Too distorted in structure to pull around again and separate from the front. 2006 is poor for storm formation.

The inner core seems to be getting better organized this morning. Pressure down to 998mb more is consistent with a 60mph TS. I think it has time to become a Cat 1 hurricane before landfall this evening.

Looks like a more eastward jog too. What do y'all think of a more northerly landfall tonight?

East means more time to drink in that nice warm water. If his track slides from the Holy City to MB, that's another 3 hours for the eye over water. Heck, it could happen. Let's see how Ernesto has responded to a few more hours of no land and warm water....

The GFDL has been nudging east with every run. The 0z model run puts landfall between Cape Fear and Cape Lookout early Friday morning as a strengthening 989mb storm.

The GFDL is picking up on the Savannah Forcefield. Kind of like the one the folks in Tampa were talking about earlier.

It is raining here, though.

I dunno. I think the Gfdl may be onto something here. Radar presentation has really improved since Mr. E (as I like to call our little TS here) has come off shore. And he seems to be dropping his pressure about 1mb per hour. He's now at 997mb. Not bad little comeback he's trying to make. If he continues on the current trend I don't think 989 would be totally out of the question.

Edit: oh and recon just reported solid 5 minutes of 55-57knot flight level winds. yes I'd say he's putting up quite the fight

Nightfall Landfall! Looking more and more like a Cat 1 storm. Expect the big media wake up at 11AM for all in the Cape Fear area.

80% reduction would be about 46kts at the surface. Look at the recon thread.
