Re: Earl Approaching the Leeward Islands

Earl looks like a ragged hurricane..but pressure supports 80mph. Earl continues just north of due west.
He looks to pass 17.6N and 60W and might come pretty close to puerto rico to give them TS conditions. Especially on the NE side of the island and in squalls. I think Anguilla and St Martin, St Barts, U.S. and British Virgin islands will be the only ones that will receive hurricane conditions but any deviation to the left will bring St Croix and other northern leeward islands into the mix.

Fiona, should be a TD or even a TS in the next 6-12hrs..... only thing I will say about her is, if she will ever make it to florida or SE U.S, She would have to slow down when reaching 60W and move slower than Earl is to give time for the ridge to build back in over the bahamas and SE U.S in 9-10 days out.
