Is hurricane Earl going to hit the northeast, specifically the New York City region?

The tracks are showing it headed towards the northeast, but does anyone have a more expert take on things? Or opinions?|||I don't think it will. The trough should hold keep it out to sea. I do think that it will make a much closer pass to the US coast than Danielle. Earl looks disorganized this morning- I think it is catching some wind shear from Danielle. However, I think it will strengthen later.





Here's the projected tracks from the 00z model runs. They are in good agreement, and as you can see, keep Earl out to sea.

Here is a link where you can track it, and keep abreast of it yourself

In my opinion, it has been a very hot summer p here (Im in Long Island) the water temperatures have remaied a steady 75 degrees....very warm and very attractive for a Hurricane.

Hurricane Earl is not expected to make landfall on the east coast. It will make a close approach to the NC OBX but then it will curve the northeast and out into the open Atlantic. I do not think it will affect you other than some clouds and maybe a shower or two.|||Too early to tell.
