Tropical Storm Ernesto is still going strong!

Ernesto is still a tropical storm--he apparently did not draw enough power from the warm waters off the mid-Atlantic shore to upgrade into a hurrixane.
The image below is a false color RGB (red, green, blue) image which brings out the different cloud layers in the storm. The highest clouds are the brightest, and the lower clouds are a yellowish color.
Stay tuned.
