Ernesto four days away from the Carolinas

Several forecast models project that Tropical Storm Ernsest, now crossing southern Cuba, will veer through Florida and then head out into the Atlantic where it will gather strength before making landfall in South Carolina. Some show it just skirting the coast.
Lots of ifs, but with shear and water temp conditions favorable for storms to blow up quickly, this is an important storm to watch.

I’m no expert, so read ‘em here:

• Miami Herald: Ernesto is 48 hours away, evacuations and closings already started
• Jeff Master’s latest
• weatherdotcom
• National Hurricane Center
