FOX 13 Tampa Bay on MSNHurricane Erin brings high surf, flooding along Atlantic coast, NHC monitoring 3 tropical waves
As Hurricane Erin moves east of the U.S., bringing impacts along the Atlantic coast, the National Hurricane Center continues to watch three areas in the tropics for possible development.
Erin has become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season with strong waves and rip currents possible along the East Coast of the United States as early as next week.
Life-threatening storm surges and rip currents are forecast for much of the U.S. East Coast as Hurricane Erin takes a path just offshore. Here’s the latest tracking map.
Rip currents are the third leading cause of deaths from hurricanes, and they can happen on a sunny day hundreds of miles from the storm.
Hurricane Erin could 'at least double or triple in size' next week and the track has shifted south, but remains likely to turn away from the East Coast.
For now, most reliable computer models that meteorologists use show Erin curving away from the United States, spinning off the East Coast later in August.
