gusts. Some slight additional strengthening is possible later today, with little change in strength expected tomorrow. Earl could still
become a hurricane later this week.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 105 miles (165 km) from the center.
The estimated minimum central pressure is 998 mb (29.47 inches).

RAINFALL: Earl is expected to produce additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 4 inches, with isolated storm totals of 8 inches, across the Leeward Islands, U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico through Monday.
Limited flash, urban, and small stream flooding impacts are possible. Rapid rises on rivers and mudslides in areas of steep

possible in areas that will receive heavier rainfall totals.
WIND: Winds are diminishing across the the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
