Despite taking a track about midway between the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda, the coastline from Florida to New England is likely to see some impacts. Here’s the latest.

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.

The Atlantic basin includes the northern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America, as the Gulf of Mexico is now known in the U.S. per an order from President Trump. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center are now using Gulf of America on its maps and in its advisories.

Hurricane Erin is moving east of the U.S. coast as a major storm and will bring strong waves and rip currents to Florida's east coast – and it comes as the National Hurricane Center is eyeing two more tropical waves in the Atlantic.

AND IT’S ALL THANKS TO HURRICANE AARON. NOW, AARON IS NOT GOING TO MAKE LANDFALL HERE IN CENTRAL FLORIDA, BUT BECAUSE IT’S SO CLOSE AND THE STORM IS SO BIG, IT IS PRODUCING THE STRONG RISK OF RIP CURRENTS,

The National Hurricane Center is tracking a tropical wave in the eastern Atlantic on the heels of Hurricane Erin that could strengthen into a depression later this week.

A hurricane's category only measures wind speed, not how far those winds extend from the center. The size of a storm's wind field is crucial for predicting storm surge and overall reach.

Here's a quick, easy-to-read look on the latest about Hurricane Erin, including what Florida residents should know.
