Major Hurricane Earl has already surpassed Danielle when she was at her strongest. Earl is undergoing a Rapid Intensification Cycle and should be a strong Catagory Four hurricane this evening. Meanwhile, Danielle continues to weaken and invest 97L has become Tropical Storm Fiona, currently following on Earl’s heels.
With the current models, the entire Eastern US seaboard from Savannah through New England lie withing the impact cone of Earl. Models have trended slightly west before showing a re-curve to the north. Depending on how far west Earl travels, the greater the likelihood for impact on the East Coast of the US.
