Hurricane Erin, North Carolina and tropical storm watch
Digest more
Hurricane Erin is affecting parts of the East Coast, including beach towns such as Ocean City, Md., and more. Here's a look at this week's weather.
Even though Erin will be well off shore, the shear large size of the storm will likely send tropical storm force winds (39 miles per hour or higher) into the Outer Banks and gusting tropical winds may also be felt on nearby mid-Atlantic beaches Wednesday into Friday.
A weakening Hurricane Erin is moving closer towards Bermuda as weather officials are keeping an eye on the two weather patterns that could affect the region over the next seven days. The Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Erin is an estimated 555 miles west south west of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour (mph).
After rapidly intensifying into a Category 5 storm on Saturday, Hurricane Erin has since been downgraded to a Category 4 system with sustained winds of 130 mph. However, it is expected to intensify and grow in size over the next few days.
Erin is a category 2 hurricane but it has weakened just a bit. The storm is moving northwest at 7 mph with winds up to 110 mph.
