This evening Tropical Storm Earl continues to get better organized east of the British and US Virgin Islands with maximum sustained winds of 60 mph once again.  The system has had a hard time becoming well organized due to its very fast motion over the last couple of days. 

The microwave imagery once again this evening shows that Earl is not very symmertrical in terms of a well defined inner core.  Over the next day or so he is expected to slow down a bit and be less influenced by Danielle’s outflow….therefore we expect him to become a major hurricane over the next 2 days.  Track is still very tricky at this point, but anyone along the east coast of Florida to the Carolinas should keep a close watch on the track and intensity forecasts of Earl.
