At 500 PM AST (2100 UTC), the center of Hurricane Earl was located
near latitude 30.3 North, longitude 64.4 West. Earl is moving toward
the north-northeast near 16 mph (26 km/h) and this motion is
expected to continue with further acceleration tonight. A turn more
northeastward is expected tomorrow.
 
Maximum sustained winds measured by the Air Force Reserve Hurricane 
Hunters are near 100 mph (155 km/h) with higher gusts. Strengthening 
is still anticipated and Earl could become a major hurricane by 
tomorrow. Thereafter, some weakening and transition into a powerful 
extratropical cyclone is forecast on Saturday.
 
Earl is growing larger, with Hurricane-force winds extending outward 
up to 60 miles (95 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force 
winds extending outward up to 185 miles (295 km).
