The National Hurricane Center is tracking four systems in the Atlantic, including Hurricane Erin and newly designated Invest 90L.
Chances continue to grow that two new storms could form in the Atlantic in the next few days, but neither pose a likely threat to Florida or most of the Caribbean anytime soon. The National Hurricane Center also lowered the chances that a third disturbance, which it marked for the first time on Thursday morning, could form to zero.
Although Erin is weakening, it will still be very dangerous to swim in the water at most U.S. East Coast beaches.
Conditions along the Florida coast are expected to deteriorate Wednesday as Hurricane Erin moves north-northwest off Florida.
It will be a case of "rinse and repeat" on Saturday and Sunday as the unsettled pattern continues. The mornings look mainly dry but scattered storms will develop in the afternoons and evenings. Highs will remain above average, in the low-to-mid 90s, and heat indices will soar to the 100s when the humidity is factored in.
As Hurricane Erin churns off the U.S. East Coast, live stream cameras along Florida beaches and across North Carolina are capturing the storm's impacts. Expect heavy surf and riptides in Florida. Live cam viewpoints of the storm include Broward County,
ORLANDO, Fla. — A front to the north of Florida will increase the chance of rain and storm activity over the weekend. Central Florida will have a 60% chance of scattered showers and storms from Friday to Sunday. Rain is expected to move from west to east and begin earlier in the day, which will help limit afternoon heating.
As Floridians breathe a collective sign of relief from escaping the worst impacts of Hurricane Erin, there’s one group of people that are particularly thrilled with the exact track of this storm — surfers.
Users were impressed by the perspective captured in the viral post, with one describing it as "beautiful and terrifying."
