Tropical Storm Ernesto Forms

Yesterday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center officially named the tropical system in the Caribbean Tropical Storm Ernesto.  Currently, Ernesto stands just north of Venezuela with maximum sustained winds of 50 mph moving west at 21 mph.  The track currently takes Ernesto on a northwesterly track towards the Gulf of Mexico.  Different models have Ernesto making landfall in different areas, from Cancun, Mexico to Western Cuba.  From there, some models take it into the Florida Panhandle while others take it towards Texas.  The NHC has Ernesto becoming a hurricane by Monday morning around Jamaica.  Keep track of Ernesto by checking out WeatherCoat's TropiCoat or by going to hurricanes.gov.
