Oh great...

144732W_sm.gifI would show you where Tampa is on this latest hurricane track map, but it's obscured by that big black dot that says "8 AM Thu" They're expecting a Cat 3 by that time. From StormTrack:

Ernesto's limited strength thus far has been due to moderate wind shear displacing the convection from the center of circulation. While the center of circulation used to be on the very edge of the convection, it is now within the convection but displaced towards the west. This wind shear should lessen today and tomorrow, and allow for strengthening to continue. The current convective pattern is very healthy and Ernesto seems to mean business.
