Hurricane Earl Update: Conn. Monitors Progress

The Connecticut Department of Emergency Management and Homeland Security has released the following tracking update on Hurricane Earl.

After moving just east of the outer banks, Earl is forecast to accelerate to the North Northeast on Friday and brush Southeastern New England Friday evening as a Category II hurricane. However, eastern Connecticut is within the 3-day margin for error for Earl's track and all interests should continue to monitor Earl closely. If Earl stays on this new forecast track parts of Southeastern New England can expect Tropical Storm force winds, heavy rain and high waves Friday night. Heavy rainfall may cause urban and small stream flooding in Southeastern CT Friday evening
