We'll see - the plane is north of PR right now and on its way in. I reccomend following along in Google Earth since you have the sickness just like me, CH.
Mets on the accuweather forum are now predicting Cat 5 intensity in the next hurricane hunter pass.
Gotta say I agree. This thing is a beast.

Latest advisory has it at 120kts.
Good idea. Downloading now.... haven't put GE on my Alienware laptop yet.
I just don't see cat 5 because the pressure is going to need to go near 910mb for its winds to get there. We'll see though.

Thats the link for the recon GE data.
140 mph sustained, 932mb.
Well, Earl almost made it, but now he's encountering shear to his NW. Still up to 145 mph sustained, though.
Morning guys. It's going to be a close one. Turning a bit perhaps?
He's definitely shifting more N. Motion is now around 340 degrees.

The beach is abandoned, but they left the cams up.This will be AWESOME to watch.
Up to 943 mbs. Eyewall starting to fall apart. What a ride it's been.
Unofficially the strongest hurricane ever at his la ude.
Looks like Cape Hatteras is going to be spared a direct hit. Now we have to hope that he stays on track and curves towards the east. If he stays further west and directly hits any part of Long Island it could be very bad.
There have been a few stronger. Pretty nasty the way he blew up last night though. His structure was textbook.
Strength continues to fluctuate...back to Cat 3 after being a pretty strong Cat 4. He could go back to Cat 4 though as he hits the very warm Gulf Stream waters...depending on how much shear is affecting him at that time.
just wait until the cold front ends in the US and hurricane season reaches its peak in september. thatll give them a free pass into the US. there are more storms sprouting off africa as we speak.
It's not abandoned.. there's people just watchinghttp://beachcam.kdhnc.com/view/index.shtml

Nope. Gonna weaken all the way on out from here baring something short of a miracle. The trough is going to start affecting him more and more from here on out and there is no way a hurricane gets to four status in that type of environment.
Good news too because it looks like Cape Cod is going to have a fun ride. Sucks for the rich white people there.
Yeah...looks like the trough is really starting to take him down. He's barely a Cat 3 now. Thankfully it got there on time.
Earl was the best kind of strong storm: It got studied extensively, it was a very strong storm, and it likely won't hit anything while its very strong.
Actually the best kind of strong storm is one that kills a bunch of assholes
+1
Plus it's giving us some much needed relief from the heat here so far!
Earl went down swinging today. He still managed to hit Nova Scotia with 60+ MPH sustained winds and gusts that went almost hurricane force.
An example of why you should never underestimate these storms.
