Well its history in the making here as hurricane earl approaches the area... Now back to a cat 4 status, earl actually has about a 20% chance of becoming a cat 5 by tomorrow... so here's the latest... The track continues to very slowly, but surely shift to the west... Earl is now changing directions moving NNW, but my gut feeling is it may change back to NW for a little while before becoming NNW and then N again... Looking at the current track its still the same for me with maybe a mile shift the the west... As long as the models keep this slow westerly shift, meteorologists will have to begin shifting their forecasts west probably starting tomorrow... If by tomorrow the storm gets to 76, 77 west, then we all need to panic, assuming from there major destruction is likely... if it moves a couple of degress west thats more normal... so why history? well the first thing that im most excited about, is that where i live it is the first time in about 20-25 years a tropical storm watch has been issued... Also Earl could be one of the strongest, if not, the strongest hurricane to reach the carolinas and north... It could be as high as a cat 4 status when it does so... So keep it here because i am still very, very confused with all that is going on here with the track... some forecasts are really starting to worry me...
