NOAA NWS National Hurricane Center: The
government of Jamaica has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for that
island nation. That means tropical storm conditions are expected
somewhere in the warning area within 36 hours. At midday Saturday,
Tropical Storm Ernesto was centered almost 600 miles east-southeast of
Kingston, Jamaica, moving to the west-northwest. On the forecast track,
the center of Ernesto should pass south of Jamaica on Sunday evening and
then move over the northwest Caribbean Sea. A USAF hurricane
hunter aircraft found maximum sustained winds of 50 mph. No significant
change in strength is expected today, but intensifcation is possible on
Sunday. Ernesto could become a hurricane over the northwest Caribbean
Sea in a day or two.
