- Hurricane Ernesto has weakened to a Category 1 storm as it approaches Bermuda, yet it continues to pose significant risks with strong winds, dangerous storm surges, and potentially deadly flooding. The U.S. National Hurricane Center indicated the storm's center would pass near or over Bermuda on Saturday morning, with the most severe impacts from storm surges and flash flooding expected later in the day.
- The storm is moving slowly at 13 mph (20 kph) in a north-northeast direction, suggesting prolonged impacts on the island on Saturday night. With maximum sustained winds of up to 90 mph (150 kph), Ernesto remains a serious threat, having been classified as a Category 2 storm the previous day, capable of causing extensive damage.
- Michael Weeks, Bermuda's national security minister, urged residents not to underestimate the storm's dangers. As of Friday, Ernesto's winds had knocked out power for 5,400 of Bermuda's 36,000 customers, prompting the local utility BELCO to call back repair crews due to unsafe conditions.
- The storm's effects are already being felt in Bermuda, the Bahamas, and along the U.S. East Coast. In New York, all beaches in Brooklyn and Queens have been closed to swimmers, with dangerous rip currents and swells of up to 6 feet (2 meters) anticipated.
