    DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
    ----------------------
    At 500 AM AST (0900 UTC), the center of Hurricane Ernesto was
    located near latitude 47.3 North, longitude 50.0 West. Ernesto is
    moving toward the northeast near 36 mph (57 km/h). An even faster
    motion to the northeast or east-northeast is expected during the
    next couple of days. On the forecast track, the center of Ernesto
    will move over the open North Atlantic today and tonight.

    Maximum sustained winds have decreased to near 75 mph (120 km/h)
    with higher gusts. Continued weakening is forecast, and
    Ernesto should lose its tropical characteristics later today,
    and dissipate on Wednesday.

    Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km) from the
    center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 220 miles
    (350 km).

    The estimated minimum central pressure is 975 mb (28.80 inches).


    HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
    ----------------------
    Key messages for Ernesto can be found in the Tropical Cyclone
    Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC
    and on the web at hurricanes.gov/text/MIATCDAT5.shtml.

    SURF: Swells generated by Ernesto are affecting Bermuda, the
    northeast coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada. The
    swells and the associated life-threatening surf and rip current
    conditions should gradually subside during the next day or so.
    Please consult products from your local weather office, and stay out
    of the water if advised by lifeguards.
