Hurricane Earl's fury headed for East Coast

The Maritimes remains in the path of Hurricane Earl, and could see its effects as early as Saturday morning. The latest forecast from the Canadian Hurricane Centre says hurricane Earl continues on its projected track and is likely to affect Atlantic Canada by this weekend.

The centre says it's still too early to issue warnings or discuss potential effects in Atlantic Canada because the hurricane is still too far away.

The centre says Earl is expected to continue its northwestward track before heading more towards the north.

There continues to be a wide-range of predictions of where the storm could potentially make landfall, from Maine in the west to as far east as Newfoundland.
