Live Weather Updates, August 20: Tracking Hurricane Erin As Coastal Flooding Begins Swamping Homes
Today is the day that we could see some of the worst impacts of Hurricane Erin as it churns parallel to the U.S. East Coast. North Carolina's barrier islands have already started seeing significant waves crashing into shoreline homes and hotels. As always we have a complete forecast that you can constantly check out for updates, and below we're tracking the latest on Erin's impacts, preparations and closures, as well as other major weather headlines across the U.S. and beyond on this Wednesday, August 20. (10:23 a.m. EDT) Head To The Swimming Pool, East Coast From senior writer Chris DeWeese: There's a very good reason why we keep seeing states along the East Coast banning ocean swimming today. As the latest Rip Current Risk map from the National Hurricane Center shows, the danger is high almost all the way up the coast, and, honestly, anyone who wants to take a dip should just find a swimming pool instead. (10:08 a.m. EDT) Hurricane Hunters Find Stronger Erin From senior meteorologist Jonathan Erdman: An Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter mission just measured a peak wind of 114 mph a whopping 92 miles northeast of the center of Hurricane Erin. That measurement was taken at the level the plane was flying, not at the surface. But that measurement in addition to a surface pressure 6 millibars lower than the 5 a.m. ET NHC advisory indicates Erin is strengthening. But since Erin's center and eyewall is forecast to remain offshore, the most significant aspect of the hurricane for U.S. impacts is the growing area its winds are covering, as we explain here. (10:00 a.m. EDT) Jenkinson's Boardwalk Closed From producer Carmen Molina: Jenkinson's Boardwalk at Point Pleasant Beach, New Jersey, closed its access to the ocean until further notice. As the conditions worsen due to the dangerous water conditions and rip tides from Hurricane Erin, the beaches could be fully closed as well, per their announcement posted on Facebook. Some of their events for this upcoming weekend have already been canceled for this week. (09:51 a.m. EDT) Outer Banks Warning: Your Window For Evacuating Is Closing A dire warning this morning from the National Weather Service for people still in areas like Hatteras and Ocracoke Islands. We've told you how we could see some of the worst coastal surges and flooding as the day progresses, so the window to evacuate is closing. (09:37 a.m. EDT) 'Ash Devil' In Wyoming As Red Canyon Fire Rages From senior writer Chris DeWeese: Wyoming's Red Canyon Fire has ballooned to over 177 square miles in size, with 28% containment. As temperatures hit triple digits yesterday, a firefighter captured an incredible scene as an 'ash devil' (a dust devil dark with ashes from the fire) came into view. Watch it here: (09:25 a.m. EDT) Two Other Areas To Watch In The Atlantic Besides Erin From meteorologist Jennifer Gray: Hurricane Erin is definitely the main feature to watch right now in the Atlantic, but don't lose sight on two more areas of interest that are right on Erin's heels. The National Hurricane Center is watching one area in the central Atlantic that is showing signs of potential development. This cluster of thunderstorms could become our next tropical depression as early as later this week or this weekend. Regardless of development, it will create unsettled weather in and around the northern Leeward Islands by Friday. The second area is just south of the Cabo Verde Islands and has a small window of opportunity to develop into a tropical system before conditions become more unfavorable in the next few days. The next name on the hurricane list is Fernand. (09:20 a.m. EDT) New Jersey Beaches Ban Swimming From senior engagement editor Ron Brackett: With Hurricane Erin creating high surf and dangerous rip currents, New Jersey has closed at least 16 beaches to swimming. "We don't want anyone in the ocean," Seaside Heights Mayor Anthony Vaz told the Asbury Park Press. The National Weather Service warned that large, breaking waves of 5 to 8 feet are expected in the surf zone on Wednesday and 7 to 12 feet on Thursday. "Conditions at all beaches will be very dangerous. Extreme caution is advised for any beachgoers," the Weather Service said in a tweet. (09:00 a.m. EDT) No Swimming At New York's Southern Ocean Beaches; NYC Beaches Closed From producer Carmen Molina: Gov. Kathy Hochul directed the Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation to suspend swimming at Long Island ocean beaches due to flooding and rough surf conditions and potential rip tides resulting from Hurricane Erin. Swimming has been restricted at Jones Beach, Robert Moses and Hither Hills State Parks through Thursday. 'The peak hurricane season is approaching, and we have strong preparations in place to keep people safe,' Hochul said. In New York City, Mayor Eric Adams and Iris Rodriguez-Rosa, the parks commissioner, said Tuesday that city beaches would be closed for several days. (08:29 a.m. EDT) Erin's Waves Crash Into The Outer Banks While hundreds of residents and tourists evacuated North Carolina's Outerbanks on Tuesday, others got caught in some of the earliest flooding from Hurricane Erin. The combination of the storm and high tide sent waves surging into homes, hotels and Highway 12 - the only way in and out of those islands. See it all in this video. (08:15 a.m. EDT) Hurricane Erin Will Bring Impacts To Northeast, New England From meteorologist Jennifer Gray: While Hurricane Erin will stay well offshore, parts of southern New England and the Northeast will still feel impacts. Winds could gust as high as 30-50 mph at times along the southern parts of New England and the Northeast coast. High surf and coastal flooding will also be a concern as Erin's steady onshore winds will push water toward the coast. High surf advisories are in place along the northern New Jersey coast, extending northeastward to Cape Cod. Waves higher than 10 feet are possible just offshore.

This is the birthplace of 85% of all major hurricanes, including Erin
They are the hurricanes of legend, the bowling balls that cross the entire Atlantic Ocean, menaced ships of yore and make the long, curved lines on the hurricane charts. Cape Verde storms, named for the group of islands about 450 miles (725 kilometers) off the west coast of Africa, typically form from clusters of thunderstorms that move off the continent and into the Atlantic. With thousands of miles of ocean water above the 80-degree Fahrenheit (27-degree Celsius) temperature needed to fuel hurricanes, Cape Verde storms are some of the most dangerous that threaten North America. About 85% of all major hurricanes — Category 3 and higher — start out there, according to the National Hurricane Center. 'They are the media stars and certainly get a lot of attention because you can track them for a long time,' said Jeff Masters, a meteorologist for Yale Climate Connections. But they also are a rare threat. Less than one out of every 10 of the storms crash into the U.S. The rest either fall apart or are curved out to sea by the north and east steering winds that normally prevail over the Atlantic. Now is the time to turn to the east Conditions need to be just right for Cape Verde storms to form and grow, keeping them mostly confined to August and September. Hurricane Erin is a Cape Verde storm. The National Hurricane Center is watching two more clusters of storms to the east of Erin that could develop into tropical storms. But the atmosphere is too complex to know how strong those storms can be if they develop or whether any of them will threaten the U.S. Forecasters begin to lose confidence in their ability to predict the future of any specific storms more than a week out. It takes at least 10 days for a potential hurricane to cross the Atlantic Ocean. Warm weather and light winds help Cape Verde storms grow Cape Verde storms start over Africa where the hot dry air in the Sahara and the hot humid air over the Gulf of Guinea clash and create clusters of thunderstorms that move off the continent. The warm water is the first ingredient. Hurricanes also thrive with light winds above them that won't blow the thunderstorms away from the center. 'They are the strongest because they have the most time to develop. The other storms can crash into land too early,' Masters said.) Researchers have spent the past several years studying the ocean and atmosphere in the far eastern Atlantic to get a better idea of why some storms form and some don't. In recent years, scientists have realized that dry air and dust from the Sahara in Africa blown into the Atlantic from the east can lessen the high humidity hurricanes need and inhibit their development. The dust can travel all the way across the ocean and settle on cars and windows on the U.S. East Coast. 'They travel about a mile above the surface, the winds are very strong, and the air is dry and hot. That's a trifecta that suppresses hurricane activity,' Jason Dunion, a scientist at the University of Miami's Cooperative Institute for Marine and Atmospheric Studies told the university. 1 or 2 hurricanes a year are Cape Verde storms Some years may not see a Cape Verde storm at all. Some can see as many as four or five. But on average about one or two hurricanes a year are classified as Cape Verde storms, according to the National Hurricane Center. And they aren't the only storms to hit the U.S. The Weather Channel analyzed hurricanes since 1995 and found only nine of the 60 that struck the U.S. were the ones that track all the way across the Atlantic. The storms you remember The list of famous Cape Verde hurricanes has a lot of overlap with the list of the most memorable, powerful and deadliest hurricanes. There is the 1900 Galveston Hurricane that killed about 8,000 people in Texas and the 1928 Okeechobee hurricane that killed 2,500 in Florida. In more recent times, hurricanes Donna in 1960 in Florida, Hugo in 1989 in South Carolina, Andrew in 1992 in Florida, Ivan in Grand Cayman, Alabama and Florida in 2004, Ike in Texas in 2008, Irma in Cuba, Puerto Rico and Florida in 2017 and Florence in North Carolina in 2018 were all Cape Verde storms.
