HURRICANE EARL
As of 8am EDT Tuesday Hurricane Earl was located about 175 miles north-northwest of San Juan Puerto Rico or 235 miles east-southeast of Grand Turk Island with top winds near 135 mph. Earl is a category 4 on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane wind scale. Some additional strengthening is possible over the next 24 hours.
Earl is moving toward the west-northwest at 13 mph, but should turn to the northwest by this evening. A northwestward motion should continue during the day Wednesday.
Hurricane Earl is moving away from Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands. Conditions are improving with diminishing wind and flooding. Tropical storm warnings have been discontinued.
Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the Turks and Caicos. Conditions there should gradually worsen today with increasing wind and rain. The worst conditions are expected on those islands this evening and overnight with gradually improving conditions Wednesday.
The southeastern Bahamas are under a tropical storm watch. Earl should pass well east of the Bahamas tonight through Wednesday night. Some squally showers and stronger winds are possible later today through early Thursday morning as Earl passes by.
Earl turns northward later Wednesday and could move toward the Carolina coastline Thursday. Tropical storm watches could be issued as early as this afternoon or evening.
Hurricane Earl could threaten the Northeast and New England coasts Friday and Friday night.
TROPICAL STORM FIONA
As of 8am EDT Tuesday Tropical Storm Fiona was located about 500 miles to the east of the Leeward Islands with top winds near 40 mph. Fiona was moving toward the west-northwest at 24 mph.
Due to the fast motion of Fiona tropical storm watches have been posted for the northern Leeward Islands of Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguilla, St. Maarten, Saba and St. Eustatius. Tropical storm conditions are possible on those islands within the next 48 hours. Meanwhile, a tropical storm warning is now in effect for St. Martin and St. Barthelemy.
Due to its proximity to Hurricane Earl, its fast movement and wind shear Fiona is expected to strengthen very slowly. It is not expected to become a hurricane at this time.
