A hurricane warning is out for part of the Massachusetts coast including Nantucket as Earl bears down on the Eastern Seaboard.

The National Hurricane Center in Miami on Thursday also issued a tropical storm warning along the Connecticut and Rhode Island
coasts into Massachusetts.

Hurricane Earl was headed for the Outer Banks of North Carolina with top sustained winds near 140 mph and higher gusts. The center of Earl was about 300 miles south of Cape Hatteras, N.C.

Behind Earl, Tropical Storm Fiona was about 550 miles south of Bermuda and Gaston weakened into a tropical depression farther out in the Atlantic. A tropical storm warning was issued for Bermuda ahead of Fiona, which had top sustained winds of 50 mph.
