HOLT, Fla., Aug. 16, 2018–The tropical wave in the southern Atlantic continues to make its way toward the Windward Islands.
The system is located about 600 miles east-southeast from the island chain moving west-northwest at about 15 mph.
Some development is possible during the next couple of days; however, by late Saturday the system will run into wind shear that will limit further development when it moves over the eastern Caribbean Sea, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Further development through the next five days remains low at 20 percent.
Meanwhile, Ernesto is now a tropical storm.
Heading toward cooler waters, Tropical Storm Ernesto is expected to become post-tropical quickly, according to the NHC.
