Hurricane Earl- Storm Train

[Localonthe8s]

I'm under a tropical storm warning but that may subjectto change if Earl keeps weakening the way it is now.

I think Earl is weaking and has a slightly eastward track, so effects for some of you may now be at a minimum or not at all. Still, though, I guess we have a powerful storm brining powerful conditions to NC.

Earl is still right on track with what the NHC is saying, it's just wobbling east every now and then just like last night it was wobbling due westward while generally moving WNW. So there's no doubt in my mind they will feel effects regardless if it was moving more eastward from time to time while moving due north. Bryan mentioned earlier the hurricane winds will expand the further north it gets out to nearly 300 miles (150 on both sides) and tropical storm winds farther out than that.

Not the mention the eye is closing.

Don't worry, Mike. One day, a major hurricane will make landfall in central NJ.

Those Hurricane Warnings needs to be dropped. No way there will be hurricane force winds anywhere on the US coast.

Goodbye Hurricane Earl. As of the 11 PM EDT advisory, Earl has been downgraded to a tropical storm with max sustained winds of 70 mph. This storm is weakening rather quickly.

About time they dropped those Hurricane Warnings. Earl is barely a threat to anyone really. Tomorrow should be a nice start to the labor day weekend for folks on the east coast!

Wow, Earl (now extratropical) has a weird forecast track now

I'll admit it does look strange, but it actually makes sense.  Even post-tropical cyclones don't want to travel too close to the poles, and steering winds are usually accommodating.  Considering what's left of Earl is still pretty well put together, even though it's lost its tropical characteristics, this system isn't going to dissipate in the immediate future.  Most remnants of tropical systems do eventually cruise across the northern Atlantic, but it just so happens that Earl ventured farther north than many before starting its transoceanic crossing.

Whats more shocking is that the NHC actually issued products up until that point
