This is a large storm capable of bringing Bermuda flash flooding due to the combo of it being large, it expected to be slow moving nearby, and probably high PWATs due to (near) record high nearby SSTs.

From 11PM NHC: check out this expected rainfall, which would likely be one of their heaviest in history:

RAINFALL: Ernesto is expected to produce total rain accumulations
of 6 to 12 inches on Bermuda with isolated maximum amounts up to 15
inches. This rainfall may result in considerable life-threatening
flash flooding.

Ernesto sure doesnt look like a cat2. Something is just off in the ATL. Debby was on the struggle bus all the way across and only managed to be a minimal cat1 because of land interaction. Now, Ernesto is struggling in an area that should have been very favorable. Instead its getting hit with dry air and shear
