As of 2pm ET, Ernesto is still holding steady as a 50mph tropical storm with a pressure of 1004mb
From the link below, looking at the water vapor, notice how Ernesto has been able to ventilate (create it's own healthy environment) and virtually push the dry air that's in it's path out of it's way. That's probably one reason why the dry air hasn't disrupted it's circulation entirely.
