As the storm entered the Gulf of Mexico, it gradually took on a westward track just north of the Yucatán. Earl's forward speed gradually slowed enough for it to undergo rapid intensification. By August 4, Earl had intensified to the second hurricane of the season. Additional intensification ensued thereafter, as Earl became a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 miles per hour while it rapidly expanded in size. A pinhole eye appeared in the mid-levels of circulation soon after, having begun to bear down on the Texas coastline. By August 6, Earl had become the first major hurricane (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale) of the season, attaining peak winds of 115 miles per hour. Shortly thereafter, Hurricane Earl peaked in intensity, with a minimum central pressure of 961 milli

abstract	As the storm entered the Gulf of Mexico, it gradually took on a westward track just north of the Yucatán. Earl's forward speed gradually slowed enough for it to undergo rapid intensification. By August 4, Earl had intensified to the second hurricane of the season. Additional intensification ensued thereafter, as Earl became a Category 2 hurricane with winds of 100 miles per hour while it rapidly expanded in size. A pinhole eye appeared in the mid-levels of circulation soon after, having begun to bear down on the Texas coastline. By August 6, Earl had become the first major hurricane (Category 3 or higher on the Saffir-Simpson scale) of the season, attaining peak winds of 115 miles per hour. Shortly thereafter, Hurricane Earl peaked in intensity, with a minimum central pressure of 961 millibars. Only slightly weaker, Earl made landfall ten miles south of Houston, Texas hours later. This made Earl the first major hurricane to landfall in the United States since Hurricane Wilma of 2005. Earl was also the first tropical cyclone to make landfall in Texas since Tropical Storm Don of 2011, the first hurricane landfall in the state since Hurricane Ike of 2008, and the first major hurricane landfall in the state since Hurricane Rita of 2005. Earl was also the first hurricane landfall in the United States since Hurricane Arthur of 2014. Throughout southeastern Texas, Earl caused widespread destruction that surpassed that of Hurricane Ike, becoming the third-costliest Atlantic hurricane in United States history. Soon after landfall, Earl rapidly weakened due to unfavorable conditions over land. The storm was designated a remnant low thirty-six hours after landfall, with the remnant circulation dissipating uneventfully over the southwestern United States soon after. Due to its devastating effects in Texas, the name Earl was later retired by the World Meteorological Organization in the spring of 2017.
