Earl, a category-4, 135-mph hurricane, is 110 miles northeast of San Juan, Puerto Rico. Earl will continue to strengthen.
With Earl now lifting away from the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico, all hurricane warnings and watches have been discontinued.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for Puerto Rico (including Culebra and Vieques), the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
A tropical storm watch is in effect for the southwestern Bahamas.
Storm surge will be as much as 1 to 5 feet on top of large battering waves.
Rainfall in some mountain locations could near 12 inches. Flash flooding and mudslides are likely.
Earl will likely head northward, threatening the U.S. Eastern Seaboard beyond midweek. Dangerous rip currents and swells generated by Earl should begin to impact the Southeast Atlantic Coast Tuesday (including Florida’s East Coast).
RIGHT BEHIND EARL….
TROPICAL STORM FIONA
890 miles east of the Leeward Islands, Tropical Storm Fiona finally develops, moving west at 24 mph with winds of 40 mph. Right now Fiona is not forecast to become a hurricane and could take a track similar to Earl’s. Fiona is not all that organized so far and in the upcoming days shear could further limit development
