AUGUST 31: HURRICANE EARL’S FORECAST

SEPTEMBER 1

On Wednesday morning, September 1, Hurricane Earl diminished to a very large CAT 3 storm with winds of 125 mph and wind bands extending 200 miles radially from the eye..

SEPTEMBER 1 Later during the day, Hurricane Earl strengthened again to a huge CAT 4 storm..

HURRICANE WATCHES AND WARNINGS The National Hurricane Center has hurricane watches and warnings in effect from Cape Hatteras (North Carolina) to Cape Cod (Massachusetts) to Long Island (New York).

HURRICANE EARL’S FORECAST: SEPT 1

The forecast’s margin of error was as many as 300 miles.

Under the current forecast for Earl, the Cape Hatteras, NC, area is at highest risk on Friday morning, September 3 rd, and the Massachusetts' Cape Cod and the Maine shoreline on Friday night and Saturday morning..

Cape Hatteras and other parts of NC’s barrier islands are expected to face huge waves, beach erosion, up to 6 inches of rain, and property damage overnight..

Cape Cod, Nantucket, Long Island, and Rhode Island will face a similar scenario as North Carolina, except it will be worse in some ways because the storm and its rain bands and wind bands will spread out as it moves north into New England and Atlantic Canada..
