Hurricane Earl continues to spin in the Atlantic as a category four hurricane with winds of 135 mph and moving west/northwest around 13 mph. Earl will more than likely keep it's strength over the next day or so but begin to move into an environment with a little more shear which could cause it to weaken some towards this weekend. The current forecast has Earl brushing past the Carolina's northward by sometime Friday. A trough (dip in the jetstream) will begin to move into the Great Lakes later this week and bring us a cool down but help steer Earl away from the east coast. However, if this trough slows some Earl could make more of a progression westward which would bring a bigger impact on the Mid-Atlantic. Either way, a hurricane watch will more than likely be issued for the Mid-Atlantic later today.
