ORLANDO, Fla. — Hurricane Earl is nearing its last stages as a tropical system, but strong swells are a threat to Florida’s East Coast.
As of 11 a.m. Saturday, the National Hurricane Center places the center of Earl about 260 miles south of Cape Race, Newfoundland in Canada with sustained winds of 90 mph, down from 105 mph earlier Saturday. The system is moving north-northeast at a speedy 29 mph and is expected to become an extratropical low by Saturday afternoon.
It will be a pretty quiet morning across Central Florida giving way to afternoon thunderstorms coming across the state from the west. That's the story for the entire week.
