Officials issue extreme heat watch for much of Southern California ahead of major warm-up
Much of Southern California is bracing for a major warm-up as heat returns to the region, threatening dangerous conditions. In preparation for the upcoming weather event, KCAL News has issued a Next Weather Alert to warn communities about the extreme heat and increased fire danger. The alert will be in effect from Wednesday through Saturday for the valleys, Inland Empire, mountains and deserts. The National Weather Service has also issued several weather warnings ahead of the "multi-day heat event." Weather officials predict that many areas will experience record temperatures. A red flag warning will go into effect at 9 a.m. Wednesday and remain until 9 p.m. Saturday for portions of the mountains and foothills of Los Angeles and Ventura counties. A fire weather watch will also go into effect Thursday morning through Saturday evening for portions of the mountains and foothills of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. The NWS says the "unseasonably hot and unstable air mass" is capable of producing "explosive fire behavior." Temperatures are expected to be between 95 and 105 degrees in most interior areas, with mountain and desert locations reaching up to 110 degrees. An extreme heat watch has also been issued from Wednesday afternoon through Saturday evening for much of the Southern California region. Weather officials say the hot conditions will increase the risk of heat illness for everyone, especially vulnerable populations, including young children, the elderly and those without air conditioning.

Hurricane Erin expected to 'substantially grow in size': See path tracker
Hurricane Erin has weakened slightly into a Category 3 hurricane but is forecast to "substantially grow in size" as it moves over the western Atlantic Ocean through the week, according to the National Hurricane Center. According to a 5 a.m. ET advisory from the hurricane center on Aug. 19, Erin is located about 750 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina, with maximum sustained winds near 115 mph with higher gusts. Hurricane center forecasters said Erin is moving toward the northwest, and that a turn toward the north-northwest with an increase in forward speed is expected Tuesday, Aug. 19, followed by a northward motion on Wednesday and then a northeastward motion on Thursday. On the forecast track, the center of Erin is expected to pass to the east of the Bahamas Tuesday, Aug. 19, and then move over the western Atlantic between the U.S. east coast and Bermuda on Wednesday and Thursday. Erin's strength could still fluctuate before it finally begins to wind down later in the week, according to the center's forecast. Big waves and rough surf are expected along the Atlantic Coast from Central Florida to Canada, with evacuations underway along at least two of the islands along North Carolina's Outer Banks ahead of an expected storm surge and waves of over 10 feet. The National Weather Service is urging people to stay out of the ocean to avoid deadly surf conditions expected through at least Thursday. A storm surge watch is in effect from Cape Lookout to Duck, North Carolina, which means there is a possibility of life-threatening inundation, from rising water moving inland from the coastline, in the indicated locations during the next 48 hours. The NWS said storm surge in this area could reach 2 to 4 feet.

It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time. Hurricane Erin spaghetti models Illustrations include an array of forecast tools and models, and not all are created equal. The hurricane center uses only the top four or five highest-performing models to help make its forecasts. National Hurricane Center tracking two other systems in the Atlantic In addition to Erin, the hurricane center is also tracking two other systems in the Atlantic that could stir up some tropical weather. The NHC said a tropical wave located over the central tropical Atlantic continues to produce a broad area of disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions appear conducive for gradual development of this system, and a tropical depression could form toward the end of the week or weekend. Forecasters said this system should move westward to west-northwestward across the central tropical Atlantic and approach the vicinity of the Leeward Islands on Friday, Aug. 22, with the NHC giving it a 60% chance of formation through the next seven days. A second tropical wave, located a few hundred miles to the southeast of the Cabo Verde Islands, continues to produce a concentrated area of showers and thunderstorms, according to hurricane center forecasters. Environmental conditions appear favorable for additional development over the next couple of days as the system moves westward. However, toward the end of this week the system could encounter a less favorable environment, limiting its chance for development after that time. The hurricane center gives the system a 30% chance of formation through the next seven days. What to expect: National Hurricane Center watching next potential storm How do hurricanes form? Hurricanes are born in the tropics, above warm water. Clusters of thunderstorms can develop over the ocean when water temperatures exceed 80 degrees. If conditions are right, the clusters swirl into a storm known as a tropical wave or tropical depression. A tropical depression becomes a named tropical storm once its sustained wind speeds reach 39 mph. When its winds reach 74 mph, the storm officially becomes a hurricane. Prepare now for hurricanes Delaying potentially lifesaving preparations could mean waiting until it's too late. "Get your disaster supplies while the shelves are still stocked, and get that insurance checkup early, as flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period," the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration recommends. Develop an evacuation plan. If you are at risk from hurricanes, you need an evacuation plan. Now is the time to begin planning where you would go and how you would get there. Assemble disaster supplies. Whether you're evacuating or sheltering in place, you're going to need supplies not just to get through the storm but for a possibly lengthy aftermath, NOAA said. Get an insurance checkup and document your possessions. Contact your insurance company or agent now and ask for an insurance checkup to make sure you have enough insurance to repair or even replace your home and belongings. Remember, home and renters insurance doesn't cover flooding, so you'll need a separate policy for it. Flood insurance is available through your company, agent or the National Flood Insurance Program. Act now, because flood insurance requires a 30-day waiting period. Create a family communication plan. NOAA says you should take the time now to write down a hurricane plan and share it with your family. Determine family meeting places and make sure to include an out-of-town location in case of evacuation. Strengthen your home. Now is the time to improve your home's ability to withstand hurricanes. Trim trees; install storm shutters, accordion shutters, and impact glass; seal outside wall openings. Gabe Hauari is a national trending news reporter at USA TODAY.

Hurricane Erin forces evacuations on North Carolina's Outer Banks, threatens dangerous rip currents
Holly Andrzejewski hadn't yet welcomed her and her family's first guests to the Atlantic Inn on Hatteras Island when she had to start rescheduling them, as Hurricane Erin neared North Carolina's Outer Banks on Tuesday and threatened to whip up wild waves and tropical force winds. Although the monster storm is expected to stay offshore, evacuations were ordered on such barrier islands along the Carolina coast as Hatteras as authorities warned the storm could churn up dangerous rip currents and swamp roads with waves of 15 feet. Andrzejewski and her husband purchased the bed-and-breakfast, known as the oldest inn on the island, less than a week ago. By Monday they had brought in all the outdoor furniture and made sure their daughter and her boyfriend, who are the innkeepers, had generators, extra water and flashlights as they stayed behind to keep an eye on the property. 'It's just one of those things where you know this is always a possibility and it could happen, and you just make the best out of it. Otherwise you wouldn't live at the beach,' said Andrzejewski, who will also remain on the island, at her home about a 15 minutes' drive away. Erin lashed part of the Caribbean with rain and wind Monday. Forecasters are confident it will curl north and away from the eastern U.S., but tropical storm and surge watches were issued for much of the Outer Banks. Officials at the Wrightsville Beach, near Wilmington, North Carolina, reported to the National Weather Service rescuing at least 60 swimmers from rip currents Monday. By early Tuesday, Erin had lost some strength from previous days but was still a Category 3 hurricane with maximum sustained winds of 110 mph, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said. It was about 665 miles southwest of Bermuda and 720 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras and was moving northwest at a slower 7 mph. A tropical storm warning remained in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands, where government services were suspended, some ports were closed and residents were ordered to stay home. On North Carolina's Outer Banks, coastal flooding was expected to begin Tuesday and continue through Thursday. The evacuations on Hatteras Island and Ocracoke came at the height of tourist season on the thin stretch of low-lying barrier islands that jut into the Atlantic Ocean and are increasingly vulnerable to storm surges. A year ago, Hurricane Ernesto stayed hundreds of miles offshore yet still produced high surf and swells that caused coastal damage. This time there are concerns that several days of heavy surf, high winds and waves could wash out parts of the main highway. Some routes could be impassible for days. This is the first evacuation for Ocracoke since Hurricane Dorian in 2019 caused the most damage in the island's recorded history. Tommy Hutcherson, who owns the community's only grocery store, said the island has mostly bounced back. He's optimistic this storm won't be as destructive. 'But you just never know. I felt the same way about Dorian and we really got smacked,' he said. Scientists have linked the rapid intensification of hurricanes in the Atlantic to climate change. Global warming is causing the atmosphere to hold more water vapor and is spiking ocean temperatures, and warmer waters give hurricanes fuel to unleash more rain and strengthen more quickly. Bermuda will experience the most severe threat Thursday evening, said Phil Rogers, director of the Bermuda Weather Service. By then, waters could swell up to 24 feet (7 meters). 'Surfers, swimmers and boaters must resist the temptation to go out. The waters will be very dangerous and lives will be placed at risk,' acting Minister of National Security Jache Adams said.
