![]() ![]() High winds and heavy rains will spread westwards along the coast of Honduras early Tuesday morning, and reach coastal Belize near 2 pm Tuesday. The winds this Monday morning at Puerto Lempira on the northeast coast of Honduras have not yet begun to increase, but will begin to rise this afternoon and peak near midnight tonight. This will put a portion of the storm's circulation over land, limiting intensification potential. The main obstacle to intensification will probably be proximity to land, as the center of Ernesto is likely to pass very close to the coast of Honduras late Monday night. The 8 am EDT SHIPS model forecast predicts a 26% chance of rapid intensification-a 30 mph increase in winds over a 24-hour period. While wind shear is expected to remain in the moderate range the next two days, Ernesto is over warm ocean waters of 28☌ with very high heat content, and rapid intensification to a Category 2 hurricane is possible today. Now that Ernesto has slowed down in response to a trough of low pressure passing to the north, continued steady intensification appears likely.
