Erin slightly weaker, tropical storm watches in effect in North Carolina
MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. (WBTW) – The 5 AM advisory on Tuesday shows that Erin continues to weaken, but it is still a major hurricane. Life-threatening surf and rip currents across the East Coast of the United States this week, as Erin passes off the coast. The latest 5 a.m. advisory on Erin shows the center is located 750 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. Winds are currently at 115 mph. Erin is moving northwest at 7 mph. The barometric pressure is at 955 mb. A tropical storm watch is in effect for central North Carolina. The Outer Banks of North Carolina are likely to see tropical storm-force winds (greater than 35 mph) and outer rainbands. Mandatory evacuations were issued in Dare County. On Monday, there were more than 50 rip current rescues along North Carolina area beaches. High pressure developing over the East Coast, along with a cold front on Thursday, will keep Erin off our coast. The latest GFS (black) and European (white) models are in good agreement with Erin's offshore position, which, for overnight Wednesday, is estimated to be 300-350 miles to our east. Locally, impacts will be in the form of dangerous rip currents through the end of the week for the Grand Strand. A high surf and small craft advisory is in effect for today and tomorrow. The Grand Strand could see 5- to 7-foot waves in the surf zone Tuesday night through Thursday, along with 16-30-foot waves 20-200 miles offshore. Because of this, a small craft advisory has been issued until Thursday. Minor coastal flooding and beach erosion will be possible during high tide cycles. Especially on Thursday night, when the high tide at Springmaid Pier will be near 7 ft, which would lead to flooding in Cherry Grove and Garden City.

Hot & humid Tuesday ahead; Watching a cold front & Hurricane Erin
COLUMBUS, Ga. (WRBL) — Good Tuesday morning! We're kicking off the day with mostly clear skies and humid conditions once the sun rises. Temperatures are starting out very seasonal, ranging from the low to mid 70s across the region. As we move through the morning hours, expect plenty of sunshine, though a few clouds will begin to build into the afternoon. Despite the increasing cloud cover, skies will remain mostly sunny overall. Temperatures will stay hot and humid today, with highs climbing into the mid 90s. A few stray showers or thunderstorms may pop up during the afternoon, but most of the region will stay dry. Looking Ahead: A cold front is expected to arrive by Thursday, bringing with it better chances for showers and storms that will linger through the end of the week and into the weekend. The increased cloud cover and precipitation will help bring cooler temperatures to the area—welcome relief after a string of hot, humid days. Tracking the Tropics: Hurricane Erin In the Atlantic, Hurricane Erin remains a Category 3 storm as it continues to churn offshore. Current models keep Erin tracking parallel to the East Coast, with no direct landfall expected at this time. However, the storm is large enough to generate dangerous surf and rip currents along much of the Eastern Seaboard—from Florida to Maine. Beachgoers should stay alert and follow all local advisories if heading to the coast. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
