HURRICANE EARL is a major hurricane with central winds at 127 MPH with gusting to nearly 145 MPH in the northeast quadrant.
We are posting this advisory for those persons who live along the east coast of the US from northeastern Georgia to Maine as well as the Maritime Provinces of Canada or who have interests in the area.
The projected storm track will allow Earl to travel up the east coast of the United States as a Major Hurricane. Hurricane wind conditions can be expected along the east coast of the US starting later in the day, Thursday, September 02 through Sunday, September 05. Persons all along the east coast of the US should monitor local NOAA-NWS alerts, watches, warnings and advisories as well as monitoring local Emergency Operations Center press and media releases. This will be a long term storm affecting most of the east coast of the US.
This Hurricane will cause high winds, torrential rains with localized flooding, high wave action with coastal beach erosion, some storm surge with additional lowlands flooding, frequent lightning, severe rip currents along beaches and some tornadoes.
The storm tracking projections are showing a slightly closer path to the US coast in the latest modeling, but this can change daily as upper level steering currents affect the Hurricane.
Persons should be making plans for possible coastal lowlands evacuations in places as mandated by State and Local officials.
