Hurricane Erin a Category 4
Digest more
The August weather might seem ideal for a beach trip, but Hurricane Erin will bring widespread danger in coming days.
As Hurricane Erin lifts northward into the Atlantic, it will drag drier air into Florida. The result will be lower rain and storm chances midweek, with temps in the mid 90s. The moisture looks to quickly build for the back end of next week, with temps holding in the mid 90s.
5 p.m. Update: Erin is now organizing and strengthening over the Central Atlantic. Erin is expected to become at least a Catgory 3 hurricane but missing Puerto Rico to the north and staying well east of Florida. It is expected to reach Jacksonville’s latitude about early Wednesday, resulting in some rough seas and surf at area beaches next week.
