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

Mandatory evacuations along the Carolina coast. 50+ MPH winds expected!

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

TROPICAL STORM AND STORM SURGE WATCHES ISSUED FOR THE NORTH CAROLINA OUTER BANKS

Coastal flooding is possible from Hurricane Erin along the Outer Banks of North Carolina beginning late Wednesday, where a Storm Surge Watch has been issued.

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

The Tropical Storm Watch is extended northward along the U.S.
Atlantic coast north of Cape Charles Light, Virginia to
Chincoteague, Virginia.
