Tropical Storm Earl plows into the Canadian Maritimes
Surfersvillage Global Surf News, 4 September, 2010 : - - Earl Impacts: As Earl takes aim on the Canadian Maritimes, tropical storm strength winds are finished in Maine and the last of the heavy rain is exiting eastern Maine. Meanwhile, tropical-storm-force winds and 1-to-locally-5-inch rains target Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island.
Large swells will continue to impact much of the East Coast of the United States Saturday (mainly from New Jersey northward), with dangerous rip currents possible as far south as the Southeast Coast. With this being a holiday weekend, if you are planning on venturing out into the water please do it at a lifeguard protected beach.

Elsewhere in the Atlantic, the remnant low of Gaston was located about halfway between the Lesser Antilles and the Cape Verde Islands and was becoming better organized. It is possible that Gaston could regenerate to a tropical depression at any time.
There is another area of low pressure located between the Cape Verde Islands and the west coast of Africa that is in a marginally favorable area for development, and some slow development is expected from this system over the next couple of days.
Fiona degenerated into a remnant low as of 11 p.m. Eastern Time Friday. A disturbance in the southern Bay of Campeche has only a small chance of developing as it remains close to the Mexican coast.
