What are your thoughts about hurricane earl hitting the east coast?

i live in eastern C.T and the last time i saw the path of a hurricane like earl,well it ended up just like hurricane andrew and gloria.so what do you think are the chances.all the weathermen are still not sure least case scenario it will just brush the coastline.whats your thoughts on it?|||Well hurricane Earl is really close from were i live ( Puerto Rico) and we are in vigilance of Hurricane warning of Tropical Storm and Tornadoes !! tha's crazy isn't it? but at least it didn't hit us directly.


And i don't think that earl can hit the US.|||Actually there is a area of high pressure sitting out over the atlantic which will help steer it northeastward. The trough moving down from canada will push it more northwestward. It is actually expected to strengthen due to the upper level of the atmopshere. The upper levels of the atmosphere are favorable for strengthening earl and becoming more organized. If it does actually make landfall it will not be until a week from now which is next sunday and that would be around nova scotia canada but, it will start moving into cooler waters by then and start to weaken but, at this point I doubt if it will make landfall.|||I don't think so. There is a trough coming down from Canada in to the southern US that is pushing it out to sea. Looking at Earl on the satellite, it is looking a bit less organized this afternoon, and it is catching some northeast shear. While I think it will pass close to the US coast, I don't think it will make landfall in the US.





Here are a couple of links that you can use to track it. The first is for the National Hurricane Center:





http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/





The second shows the track that the models project for it:

After you click the link, select the storm whose track you want to see. It will take you to the page for that storm. Then select "Dynamic Models" under the model run time you want to view.|||Right now it is not expected to. Landfall seems unlikely because a trough is pushing the storms out to sea at this point. However the storm still has a few days until it gets up to the coast, so things could change. If the track stays the same, Earls outer bands could still brush the coast.


I recommend you use this site to keep up to date on Earls track:
