NHC forecasters say Tropical Storm Erin is expected to become a Cat 3 hurricane by Friday. Here's the latest updates for NJ impact, models and more.
While the threat of any direct impact to the East Coast and Bahamas is easing, NHC said swells generated by Erin would likely lead to life-threatening surf and rip currents along the East Coast beaches next week.
Hurricane Erin is currently not forecast to hit land, but strong winds are affecting nearby islands, prompting forecasters to warn of possible flooding and landslides.. The NHC said it will eventually swerve away from the continental United States.
A low-pressure system situated west of the Cabo Verde Islands in the eastern Atlantic is generating a sustained cluster of showers and thunderstorms, the NHC says.
