TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO TO MOVE NORTH… Tropical Storm Ernesto continues to bring impacts to the northernmost Lesser Antilles, the U.S. Virgin Islands and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico this evening. The storm is set to move north across the Atlantic Ocean over the next few days. Impacts are likely in Bermuda due to Ernesto later this week and into the weekend.
Loud storms are happening near Coden & Dauphin Island this evening. These storms are drifting SE. A few highly isolated downpours are happening near Bratt and Beulah as well.
Isolated storms will continue to be possible over the next few hours but most of us will remain dry. pic.twitter.com/8aqO7HFiHA

Be ready for isolated downpours over the next several hours! Not every locale will have rain but some inevitably will. pic.twitter.com/JbYcmHEFAo

The Hurricane Watches issued for the Virgin Islands by @NHC_Atlantic were a good call – winds are starting to pick up on the East side of #Ernesto as a core tries to start forming this morning. Areas near and east of the center will probably see the strongest winds as it lifts… pic.twitter.com/9n672ILVau

HOT TEMPS TO PERSIST… Scattered storms will become more likely later this week. Temperatures are set to remain quite hot into the weekend and next week.
