Where did they say it was 100% going out to sea? I'd love to know.
Who said anything about 100% ?
The only thing that's 100% right now is that nobody knows anything 100%.
The NHC forecast track though shows a turn after a near miss or glancing blow on the islands.

Looking very likely this one hits the NE Caribbean Islands with a direct hit now, I just can't see it gaining enough latitude to avoid them from this point given the synoptics.
Showing subtle signs of strengthening though its presentation is still far from classic so only slow strengthening is likely for the next 24hrs, but I'd still imagine it'd be a hurricane by the time it gets close to the NE Caribbean.

Should be a hurricane in the next 12-18hrs Gustywind so this one indeed nees to be watched.
Core is setting up down at 15.5N, so highly likely this probably hits the NE Caribbean from this point...

Well looking at the Microwave imagery it suggests the system is currently strengthening and is developing an inner core and is down at 15.5N, so it likely has lost a little bit of latitude in the last 12hrs.

Re: ATL: Tropical Storm EARL - Discussion
Could the two systems merging qualify as the Fujiwhara effect?

It probably would but chances of that happening are tiny, I think the GFS is out to lunch with that solution to be honest!
Looks like its strengthening to me, recon probably will find a 55-60kts system when they go in today, which I assume is still happening?

NHC has made a big shift between 2 AM to 5AM, 16,1N to 15,7W, so 0,5degres more to the south . That's a bit suprising each weather forecast.
If this trend is confirmed during the next couple of hours i won't be surprised to see more TS Watches... and this time why not close to Guadeloupe and even Dominica. Whereas, Meteo-France has not requiered any yellow alert for Guadeloupe, maybe later this morning or this afternoon if Earl continues to race more west. We all know how these TS are sometimes unpredictable and versatile.
One thing for sure, all in the islands of the Leewards should continue to follow Earl's path. Stay tuned.

Without a doubt more watches will probably need to come out given this system jogged a little WSW last night...though interestingly the hurricane models are a smidge further north then they were last night...

I'm new to this forum but could not agree more. US and BVI will take a hit. Even if EARL begins to recurve, it will be all over them!
