AT 510 THIS MORNING, WE ARE TRACKING THE TROPICS AND THE LATEST WITH WHAT IS NOW TROPICAL STORM ERNESTO CAM. BRING US UP TO SPEED. THAT’S RIGHT. SO ARNESTO WEEKEND BECAUSE IT’S INTERACTING WITH QUITE A BIT OF DRY AIR. YOU CAN SEE THAT IT’S REALLY BEEN STRUGGLING, ESPECIALLY OVER THE LAST 15, 12 HOURS. IT’S BEEN INTERACTING WITH THAT DRY AIR. BUT IF IT CAN OVERCOME THAT DRY AIR THIS AFTERNOON IT WILL RE-INTENSIFY BACK INTO A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE AS IT MOVES NORTH INTO THE NORTH ATLANTIC BASIN. AND THEN IT WILL JUST BE MOVING SOUTH OF NOVA SCOTIA, WHERE IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO WEAKEN AND THEN MAKE ITS TRANSITION AWAY FROM BEING A TROPICAL SYSTEM TO A EXTRATROPICAL SYSTEM, WHICH MEANS IT’S GOING TO BE INTERACTING WITH SOME COOLER WATERS IN THE NORTH ATLANTIC BASIN. SO THAT’S WHEN IT LOSES ITS TROPICAL CHARACTERISTICS, BUT STILL ARNESTO, BRINGING IN SOME ROUGH SURF ACROSS OUR AREA HAVE A HIGH RIP CURRENT RISK THROUGH TOMORROW. AND ALSO IN TERMS OF THE WAVES. WAVE ACTION IS STILL PRETTY HIGH TODAY BEFO
