As of 4 o'clock Saturday, the National Hurricane Center has moved the center of Tropical Storm Ernesto to the east. Ernesto strengthened slightly despite battling shear to its west. The storm is still expected to enter the Gulf of Mexico late Monday or Tuesday as a hurricane. The current NHC track has the storm making landfall near the Florida Panhandle. Several factors will come into play as the storm moves closer to the gulf. Residents in SE Louisiana and along the eastern Gulf Coast should review their hurricane evacuation plans as well as watch your local news for more information.
