Named Storm Ernesto – Update 05:30 AM CDT 07 August 2012.
Ernesto is being steered by the westerly flow of an upper level high pressure area. The storm may make Hurricane status by the time it makes it’s first landfall near Belize on Wednesday. The storm will cross the Yucatan Peninsula and continue westbound over the southern Gulf of Mexico and make a second landfall south of Tampico, Mexico, on Friday. Since this storm no longer poses a threat to the US Gulf Coast, this will be our final Ernesto update. However, persons in Mexico should monitor this storm’s progress.
