I looked at the NOAA site and also this morning's news carried a short segment on it. I doubt we'll see much of anything up hear in the NY, Long Island Sound area other than a few showers and some mild gusting on Friday and possible Saturday morning.
According to the NWS, at this point in time, all 6 or 7 computer models show that puppy heading back northeast into the Atlantic by the time it comes close to our latitudes. The mid-Atlantic states might get some strong wind and rain bands but they're also supposed to miss the brunt of the storm. On the other hand, all the computer models in the world don't mean squat if the storm decides to change it's mind and double back on itself. It's happened before! Wasn't there a hurricane about 5 or 6 years ago which was supposed to veer out to see and not be a threat and then it did a 180, doubled back on itself, and hammered South Florida? But as far as Earl is concerned for the NY/Long Island area, I'm not planning on removing anything from the boat until I check the forecasts again on Thursday night. If, by that time, it looks like the same forecast (some rain and a few gusts of wind) then I'm going to ignore it...
