Ernesto could threaten Gulf of Mexico
Posted Aug25, 2006 at 05:02 PM
The tropical depression over the eastern Caribbean has been upgraded to Tropical Storm Ernesto this afternoon, as organization of the circulation continues to improve and winds have increased to 40 mph. Forecasts now suggest upper-level conditions will become more favorable for development over the next few days as the storm continues moving northwest. It may enter the Gulf of Mexico early next week. (
