Hurricane Erin lashes Caribbean with damaging wind as US faces life-threatening coastal conditions this week

Hurricane Erin is likely to restrengthen again as it passes east of the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeast Bahamas on Monday after lashing the Caribbean with damaging winds and flooding rain. The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said Erin’s impacts will spread to the entire U.S. East...

Having a storm this big pass so close is rather ominous. Should be a nice heave on later this week. Hopefully beach erosion won't be so bad......

I am going to watch this system closely this could be a tropical storm by the weekend. This is further south. Next update if it becomes a T.S

Waiting on the 2pm update. See if any watches are issued today for the Carolinas

If you've watched past hurricanes, almost all of them die out to no worse than a Cat 1 when they reach us. The sea water isn't warm enough to support a CAT 2 or 3. Hurricanes require a surface sea water temp of somewhere around 80 or better to develop that far. Right now, the water temp around Islip is 76.5. We might very well get a good storm out of this. But I can't see a CAT 2 or 3. And also don't forget, if it passes to the East of us, we're on the good side with much less storm surge.

Yes, I get that and was messing with BM cause he said it WAS coming WAY to early in the game

Hurricanes even if they go out to sea effect the waters. I heard long Island sound will have swells with this hurricane.

Next update with Erin will be if it becomes a cat 5 or a watch is issued. Next update with the other system is when it becomes a tropical storm or a watch is issued for the United States

No swimming this week

I could see watches issued from cape may to Atlantic city. Not sure if it will go north of that. There is a storm surge warning and a tropical storm warning for the outer banks. Tropical storm watch for Bermuda Virginia and Delaware

Going to update all watches and warnings with Erin as they become available and will update the other system at 8pm
