Tropical Storm Erin Update 🌀
---------------------------‐--‐----

Erin is expected to begin strengthening soon and will likely become a hurricane later this week in the central tropical Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Erin's intensity remains at 40 knots (46 mph), but it's expected to strengthen over the next few days and could become a major hurricane. The storm is currently moving rapidly west and is forecast to continue on that track.

It's still too early to know if Erin will impact the Leeward Islands, Bermuda, or the U.S. East Coast. Now is a great time to review your hurricane preparedness plans!

NEW: I-85 South/I-40 West remains closed this morning near Graham from Exit 152, Trollingwood Hawfields Road, to Exit 148, NC 54, due to flooding. Graham and Mebane due to the Haw River cresting at the second-highest crest. Haw River at Haw River has finally crested and reached 32.5 feet at 4:45 AM this morning. It is the 2nd highest river stage ever recorded at this site, and it was only eclipsed by Hurricane Fran in 1996 when the stage reached 32.83 feet.

If you’re traveling from the Triad to/from Raleigh, 421 to 64 would be your best bet. I-40/85 could be closed for up to 48 hours here.
