Sure looks like there is now some eastward component of motion. While Earl is mainly moving north, it sure looks like the center will stay a little east of the Outer Banks later tonight, which is great news. With this path and the recent weakening trend, things look better for the North Carolina coast.
There will be some coastal flooding issues, but no major structural damage with this scenario. The 10:00 p.m. CDT advisory will be out shortly and we will post when issued.
