UPDATE BY:Jim Williams.....Hurricane Earl is now beginning to make the turn North well N.E of the Bahamas. A hurricane warning remains up for the outer banks of N.C as hurricane force winds could affect the area as Earl passes just east . Long range models and the official forecast indicate that Earl should find a weakness to the north and pass just east of the U.S. Mid Atlantic Coast as a front moves towards the east coast. The outer banks of N.C could start to see gusty N.E winds later today as Earl approaches from the S.E. The countdown clock has been activated to indicate when Tropical storm force sustained winds should arrive in the outer banks. At the time of passage Earl is forecast to weaken to a category 3 hurricane while passing just east of Cape Hatteras while moving NNE away from the area very quickly. We will have media coverage starting this afternoon on hurricane TV . If the eyewall looks like it will hit the coast, the hurricane warning show will start as Hurricane force winds arrive. By the weekend Nova Scotia and New Brunswick could feel the effects of Earl as a cat 1 or 2 hurricane. Tropical storm Fiona is now headed in the direction of Bermuda but the system remains weak and could dissipate as it approaches Bermuda. We also have new Tropical Storm gaston well east of the Leeward islands that should threaten the islands as a hurricane early next week. Our main focus is on Hurricane Earl but if you would like to get model data on Fiona and Gaston visit the close up page . In the aftermath of the January 12th earthquake in Haiti, the NWS in Miami has set up a weather page Southern Region Haitian Disaster Support for the latest weather conditions from the hard hit earthquake areas.
