Post-Tropical Cyclone Earl Discussion Number  32
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL       AL062022
500 PM AST Sat Sep 10 2022

Satellite imagery shows that Earl has completed extratropical
transition, with well-developed frontal features and a central core
that is void of deep convection.  While recent scatterometer
overpasses did not sample the strongest winds, it showed that Earl
remains both large and powerful as an extratropical low.  So, the
initial intensity is set at 75 kt at this time.  The global models
are in good agreement that the system should gradually weaken
during the forecast period, with the maximum winds dropping below
hurricane force between 12-24 h.  The intensity forecast follows
the trend of the intensity guidance and has some minor adjustments
from the previous forecast.

Earl has slowed its forward speed considerably since the last
advisory, with the motion now 025/9 kt.  A slow movement toward the
northeast is expected during the next 36 h as the system merges
with a mid-latitude trough.  After that, the post-tropical cyclone
is expected to move eastward through 96 h, followed by an
east-northeastward motion.  The track guidance has shifted
southward between 36-72 h, and the new forecast track is adjusted
southward during that time as well.  The forecast slow motion,
along with Earl's large wind field, will cause strong winds over
the Avalon Peninsula of Newfoundland from this afternoon through
Sunday. For additional information on impacts in Newfoundland,
please monitor forecasts and warnings from Environment Canada.

The is the last advisory issued by the National Hurricane Center on
Earl.  Additional information on this system can be found in High
Seas Forecasts issued by the National Weather Service, under AWIPS
header NFDHSFAT1, WMO header FZNT01 KWBC, and online at

KEY MESSAGES:

1. Strong winds are expected over the Avalon Peninsula of
Newfoundland this afternoon through Sunday.

2. Large swells generated by Earl will affect Bermuda, portions
of the U.S. East Coast, and Nova Scotia and Newfoundland during the
next several days.  These swells are likely to cause
life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.  Please consult
products from your local weather office.
