Technology sharpens track of storms like Earl
Sophisticated computer models have improved three day forecasts from decades ago and cut errors dramatically. Forecasters warn Earl could still hug the coast with only a slight wobble changing the outcome. Experts note cone of uncertainty remains, but track accuracy is far higher than in 1972 when forecasts averaged 450 miles off.
