Hurricane Earl Update Sunday Aug. 29

Hurricane Earl Update Sunday, August 29, 2010 – 11:00 Hrs CDT

Earl was classified as a Category 1 Hurricane earlier today. Persons in the Leeward Islands, Hisapaniola and Puerto Rico are under Hurricane watches and warnings for major Hurricane involvement (Category 3 or higher). The storm track is still developing due to interaction with both low level and upper level winds, but most computer modeling is showing a track to the west of Bermuda and then northerly with some US east coastal issues from northeastern Georgia to New England from late Thursday September 02 through next weekend.

Persons from south Florida to New England should be monitoring the development of this significant storm event.
