Ernesto Will be a ‘Major Hurricane’ but Jamaica in Safe Zone: Report

As per updates released Wednesday morning, tropical storm Ernesto is currently plummeting Puerto Rico plus the US and the British Virgin Islands with heavy showers.

The system which is predicted to become a category one hurricane late Thursday is expected to take a northern turn, instead of moving westerly towards Jamaica and Cuba.

According to Mr. Weatherman on Youtube, ‘high-pressure areas’ next to Cuba and Jamaica are preventing the system from moving west like they usually do, instead this time it’s being pushed towards Bermuda.

The National Hurricane Centre’s latest projection showed Ernesto strengthening to a Category 2 or 3 storm with sustained winds of 115ph on Friday.
