Hurricane Ernesto made a transition to an extratropical cyclone east of Newfoundland on Tuesday.\u00a0 At 11:00 a.m. EDT on Tuesday the center of former Hurricane Ernesto was located at latitude 49.0\u00b0N and longitude 44.7\u00b0W which put the center about 420 miles (675 km) east-northeast of Cape Race, Newfoundland.\u00a0 Ernesto was moving toward the northeast at 37 m.p.h. (59 km\/h).\u00a0 The maximum sustained wind speed was 70 m.p.h. (110 km\/h) and there were wind gusts to 85 m.p.h. (135 km\/h).\u00a0 The minimum surface pressure was 987 mb.<\/p>\n
Former Hurricane Ernesto made a transition to an extratropical cyclone over the Atlantic Ocean east of Newfoundland.\u00a0 Ernesto moved over water where the Sea Surface Temperatures are near 14\u00b0C.\u00a0 It moved under strong upper level westerly winds in the middle latitudes.\u00a0 Those winds caused strong vertical wind shear.\u00a0 The colder water and the strong vertical wind shear caused the structure of former Hurricane Ernesto to change to that of a strong extratropical cyclone.<\/p>\n
The circulation around former Hurricane Ernesto was large.\u00a0 Winds to tropical storm force extended out 230 miles (370 km) from the center of Ernesto’s circulation.<\/p>\n
The westerly winds in the middle latitudes will steer former Hurricane Ernesto toward the east-northeast during the next 24 hours.\u00a0 On its anticipated track, Ernesto will pass south of Iceland on Wednesday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
