Earl had a little burst of convection this afternoon but it's still gradually weakening overall. The NHC 5 pm update continues with 70 kts for peak winds at this time but they expect peak winds of 60 kts, just below hurricane strength, when Earl makes its closest approach to ACK and CHH at roughly 2 am. The forecast track is roughly the same, Earl has turned slightly more right to 035 deg since the 2 pm update. The NHC track remains a bit west of the average of the latest guidance model but not by much. The distance from CHH to the forecast center at 2 am will be approximately 52 miles (83 km) and ACK will be slightly closer. As a result, tropical storm force winds are expected although the chances of > 50 kts is a bit less now, in the range of ~ 40% for CHH and 50% for ACK.
