Tropical update: Ernesto moves from Puerto Rico

Ernesto is pulling away from Puerto Rico after dumping several inches of rain over parts of the island. Flash flooding and mudslides will continue to be a threat through tonight. Ernesto will track north, staying away from the United States but passing very close to Bermuda late Friday into Saturday. Ernesto is forecast to become a major category 3 hurricane by Friday afternoon. Some impacts could be felt along parts of the U.S. East Mid-Atlantic & NE coast like increased surf and the threat of dangerous rip currents.
