Hurricane Erin, now a Category 5 storm, is moving north in the Atlantic and is expected to bring dangerous surf, storm surge, and tropical storm conditions to the U.S. East Coast, including North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

The eye of Erin, a Category 5 storm with sustained winds of 100 mph (155 km/h), is expected to move between the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda on Wednesday and Thursday.
Tropical-storm-force winds extend up to 265 miles from the centre, with hurricane-force winds reaching 90 miles.
Authorities from New Jersey to New York have issued beach closures and warnings about dangerous rip currents and coastal flooding, with flooding expected to peak during Thursday’s high tide.
Temperatures along the Northeast coast remain seasonably cool, with highs in New York City around 70 F, below the average of 82 F. Erin is the strongest Atlantic storm since Hurricane Milton in October 2024.
