Hurricane Earl Weakens

Tropical Update

Hurricane Earl weakened Friday to a Category 1 storm as it headed for the Northeast. Some watches and warnings have been reduced or dropped from Long Island to Maine.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami said a hurricane warning for the southeast coast of Massachusetts was reduced in size. But the warning remains in effect for areas including Cape Cod, Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard.

Earl's center was moving away from North Carolina on a north-northeast track and was expected to approach southeastern New England on Friday night.

Top sustained winds had decreased to near 85 mph.
