Today I’ll start blogging about Hurricane Earl and it’s potential to impact the New England area.

As of the latest advisory from the NHC, Earl is impacting the areas in and around the Leeward Islands, winds are at 135mph and it is classified a Category 4 storm.

The latest forecasts take Earl right up the East Coast between Thursday and Saturday. It has the potential to make a direct hit on Maine Friday into Saturday depending on track.

It is forecast to be a Category 2 at that time.
