Tracking the Tropics: Hurricane Erin passes Jacksonville's latitude Wednesday hundreds of miles away
Tropical Storm Warnings and Storm Surge Warnings are in effect for the North Carolina Outer Banks.
Erin lifts away from the U.S. and into the North Atlantic on Friday.
Two other tropical waves are in the Central Atlantic way behind Erin.
At this time, long-range forecast models either keep these systems out to sea, or don't even develop them.
We have time to track these areas and the next name on the 2025 list is Fernand (pronounced fair-NAHN).
Besides Erin, there is no threat to Florida for at least a week (and potentially longer).

Hurricane Erin flooding, rip current threat to peak Thursday night
NEW YORK — The coastal flooding threat from Hurricane Erin will peak with Thursday night's high tide, and dangers from the storm will continue into Friday, meteorologists said. Gov. Kathy Hochul ordered the closure of all New York state beaches through Thursday night, but the National Weather Service warned of rip currents throughout the region until 8 p.m. Friday. 'The threat for beach flooding, beach erosion and escarpment and areas of dune erosion will increase with successive high tides through tonight,' NWS forecasters warned Thursday. 'This high surf will be combined with elevated water levels as we approach a new moon.' Waves are expected to peak at 12-16 feet high on Long Island on Thursday night, with high tide times varying up and down the island. Coastal communities in southern Queens and Brooklyn could experience flooding. Hurricane Erin is expected to move further out to sea on Friday, and the storm is not predicted to make landfall. The storm is still making impacts along the East Coast because of its massive size, measuring nearly 600 miles in diameter,which is twice as big as an average hurricane. Even as Erin has made its way north, the storm has continued kicking up rip currents up and down the coast. The National Weather Service warned of dangerous ocean conditions from Maine to South Florida on Thursday. Rip currents are expected to remain a threat to the tri-state area through Friday, even if beaches finally reopen. By Saturday, conditions are expected to be back to normal.

What's next for Colorado's weather after our near-record heat Thursday
One more day of scorching summer heat is gripping the Front Range, but a major pattern shift is on the horizon — bringing cooler temperatures, increased rain chances, and the potential for strong storms starting Friday. Highs across the plains Thursday are expected to climb into the mid to upper 90s, with Denver possibly approaching its record high of 99° for this date, set back in 2023. An upper-level high remains parked over the region, keeping conditions hot and dry with only a slim chance of a mountain thunderstorm drifting off the higher terrain late in the day. But relief is on the way. A cold front will sweep into the state early Friday, ushering in a significant cooldown and a surge in moisture. That combination will help fuel a better chance for afternoon and evening thunderstorms each day through the weekend and next week. Daily chances of storms will continue through the weekend, especially Saturday and Sunday. As the pattern shifts, daytime highs could drop significantly — possibly staying in the low 70s on Monday and Tuesday.
