Hurricane Erin, East Coast and rip current
Digest more
Hurricane Erin was a Category 4 storm again Monday morning and is expected to grow even larger and stronger, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center. Although Erin is forecast to move north between the U.S. and Bermuda, life-threatening surf and rip currents are likely across the Atlantic coast from Florida to Canada.
Erin is the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year, and meteorologists are closely tracking its path and forecast.
As of Monday morning, Erin is on a steady course to curve around Bermuda and parallel the East Coast. Hurricane Erin weakened from its peak Ccategory 5 status on Saturday due to some structural changes and eyewall replacement cycles in addition to moving away from the best environment for intensification.
