Tropical Storm Earl made landfall on the east coast of Nova Scotia during the mid morning of the 4th. The minimum surface pressure across the region with the storm was 989 mb. The storm brought sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph to the immediate Downeast coast during the early morning hours of the 4th while tracking east of the region. Wind gusts near the immediate coast generally ranged from 30 to 40 mph. A peak wind gust of 41 mph was reported at West Quoddy. There were no reports of wind related damage. Storm surge was not a factor.
The storm also brought heavy rain to portions of the region. Rainfall totals of 1.50 to 3.00 inches were common across much of the region...with localized totals of 4.00 to 5.00 inches. However...the heavy rains fell after several weeks of dry conditions which had led to unusually low water levels on area rivers and brooks. Thus...although the heavy rain caused elevated water levels on small brooks and rivers...no river or brook flooding was reported. Minor street flooding was reported in the town of Machias...with one street temporarily closed.
