Most of the issues with the Outer Banks come in the form of waves and surge. There is less than a 20% chance that they even see sustained winds of 39mph or higher. Let's hope this forecast holds as a shift west could occur.

NC Friends: The main threat from Erin will be water in the form of large swells on the OBX causing overwash in the normal NC12 spots. North to south beach erosion will be huge too! On the Pamlico Sound, some sound side flooding is expected, btu winds will only be 30-40mph with higher gusts ...ish. This will push water into the southern Pamlico Sound and into the MHX area. This will cause that water to pile up and flood some areas behind Atlantic Beach and of course into the tributaries on the lower Neuse River.

The swell arrives late Monday into Tuesday and peaks late Wednesday into Thursday. RIP CURRENTS WILL BE BAD!

Follow NWS MHX and of course I'll be posting here too. Feel free to share these posts. 10 Tampa Bay

What's next? NHC has a 40% chance on the wave just off of Africa (circled in green) to develop in 3-7 days. The Euro has been suggesting it turns similar to Erin, weaker. The GFS got feisty and put something into the Gulf, but as you can see it now looks to recurve it similar to Erin (circles in green on models). Please remember, this is a long ways out from being a threat. Modeling suggests it will be near where Erin is now in 7 days, next Sunday. No worries now, you can worry about it later IF NEEDED!

Sat PM Erin: Erin likely at its strongest as some wind shear will weaken it a bit as it moves inbeween NC and Bermuda. Fortunately, the highest winds will remain offshore. The main threat will be large surf and very dangerous rip occurs for most of the eastern seaboard next week. Please pass this along to any friends or family up north as they are not back to school yet and will likely be at the coast.

"The Stadium Affect" The 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron flew into the eye of Hurricane Erin and captured this amazing video looking up inside the eye of Hurricane Erin. Sinking air in the center of the eye creates clear skies above. Flying through it makes yo think your are in a stadium with the clouds as the stands.
