There is a risk for dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents along the entire east coast, including most of Florida.

There's a one in five chance of a tropical storm reaching Tennessee in 2025, Colorado State University research shows. Here's the latest on Hurricane Erin and it's projected path.

Island communities off the coast of North Carolina are bracing for flooding ahead of the year’s first Atlantic hurricane, Hurricane Erin. Although forecasters are confident that the storm won’t make direct landfall in the United States,

Erin became the first hurricane – and major hurricane; Category 3 or higher – of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. The NHC said Hurricane Erin is forecast to pass by the Bahamas on Monday, and between Bermuda and the southeastern United States this week.

Parts of North Carolina's Outer Banks are under mandatory evacuation orders, as the National Hurricane Center warns that Hurricane Erin could bring tall waves topping 15 to 20 feet.

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.

Over the weekend, northern portions of the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico are expected to receive tropical rain ranging from 2 to 4 inches, with isolated totals up to 6 inches. Flash flooding, landslides and mudslides will be the main concerns over the next several days.

A sprawling, powerful Hurricane Erin is churning toward the mid-Atlantic but is not to directly pound the U.S. coastline.  But that doesn’t mean it won’t have a major impact as forecasters are warning of rip currents and towering waves along the Eastern seaboard.

Hurricane Erin has strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane as it threatens to bring life-threatening surf and rip currents to the eastern coast of the United States. However, the effects of Erin are not due to be felt in the UK's weather until next week, as Simon King explains:

Hurricane Erin is forecast to remain well offshore but still bring hazardous currents and possible erosion like previous offshore hurricanes before it.
