Powerful Hurricane Earl is on track to graze certain portions of the east coast. Cape Hatteras and Cape Cod both jut out east into the cone of potential travel for this hurricane.
I will be talking about Earl and discussing hurricanes in general at 1 pm today in my Atmospheric Science class at Missouri State University. You can watch this LIVE on a special edition of “Upstream” hosted by Ustream. While I will not be able to chat during this lecture, with any luck it should record on the Ustream page along with other “Upstream” shows in case you are not able to watch live.
You can also track Earl on this website under the Tropics menu above.
Present thinking is that Earl’s eye will not officially make landfall. It the impacts of heavy rain, wind, high surf and riptides will be felt from the Carolina’s northward to New England.
Earl is not forecast to become much stronger. It is encountering some wind shear which tends to break apart the circulation of tropical systems.
