Hurricane is now heading toward the northernmost of the Leeward Islands. Conditions will be deteriorating soon.
Tropical Storm Earl became Hurricane Earl earlier, and the hurricane seems to be strengthening. The hurricane is currently a bit off the coast of Puerto Rico. It's winds are blowing at up to 85 miles per hour. And it is moving west-northwest at 14 miles per hour.
A watch was actually issued by the National Hurricane Center for Hurricane Earl. The hurricane has been forecasted to gain strength as is heads towards the Leeward Islands.
The Hurricane Earl watch was given to the U.S. Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today. It has also been given to Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St. Kitts, Nevis, Anguill, St. Martin, St. Maaten, St. Barthelemy, Saba and St. Eustatius. Basically, most of the nearby Caribbean islands. The British Virgin Islands were also warned of the Hurricane and the areas are expected to have hurricane weather conditions in the next 24 hours.
Some people were also evacuates as within the next 36 hours hurricane conditions may be seen on the islands.

Hurricane Earl is expected to continue moving north-northwest up the Atlantic Ocean. The hurricane is not expected to make landfall, however, it will pass pretty close by some islands and they should be prepared for some pretty severe weather.
Hurricane Earl's projected path has actually changed quite a bit since it changed from a tropical storm to a hurricane. At first, it was predicted that the storm would head straight toward the Caribbean Islands, now, however, it is expected for the hurricane to pass by them and to just continue northward. That shows that not all predictions are accurate and you should be prepared if you live in a region that has had hurricanes strike.
