ERNESTO ha vuelto a pegar un buen petardazo esta tarde... Pero sin embargo, no ha conseguido ganar la organización interna que consiguió ayer, cuando formó un ojo que se veía a través de las imágenes de microondas. Por su apariencia, se atisba la presencia de outflows importantes en algunas zonas al menos exteriores del ciclón, que vienen a informar de que todavía existen parcelas de aire seco que están interfiriendo de algún modo con la organización de la convección.
