However, it&#8217;s growing in size. Let me show you what I&#8217;m talking about. That new track shows the storm system moving toward the north. Thankfully, drier air is getting on the west side, which is going to keep it at its same strength or near it. Though the core is going to stay just offshore because the system is getting wider, the outer banks are going to have some high impacts, not to mention the rip currents. Be up and down from Florida to the Carolinas through the mid-Atlantic. Simply put, just don&#8217;t get in the water through the rest of the week. It is just too, too dangerous. Let me show you this. I mean, folks, it&#8217;s worth counting our blessings here because if we would have had *** direct landfall with this system, it is *** monster storm moving toward the north right here. The worst of the storms could be just offshore, but those wind impacts are going to be expanded. And because of that, Almost *** 500 mile wide storm here is going to send *** lot of water into the Outer Banks right here, which is why they&#8217;ve evacuated. 2025 ft waves on top of that moving toward the north and east. It&#8217;s going to be *** very windy, rough surf day on Thursday. Wednesday and Thursday are the roughest of the days with this system. The good news I have for you, because this system is so strong, it&#8217;s upwelling, bringing up colder. Water from the bottom of the Atlantic. What that&#8217;s doing is making not so great of an environment for this secondary system. The models are really, really pushing down the chance that that&#8217;s going to develop into much of any concern for the United States. But back toward the east, we do have an invest. The models do show that will likely become *** tropical storm in the coming days, so *** lot to unpack as you watch Aaron getting out of the way and then map out those other two.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n<p>Hurricane Erin impacts begin along coast: Here&#8217;s the latest track and timing of impacts<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/1755645310_833_wyff.png\" class=\"lazyload lazyload-in-view branding\" alt=\"WYFF 4 logo\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\tUpdated: 6:23 PM EDT Aug 19, 2025\n\t\t<\/p>\n<p>\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wyff4.com\/article\/hearst-television-news-policy-statements\/14471973\" class=\"editorial-standards border-left\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Editorial Standards \u24d8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tHurricane Erin is now a Category 2, but the storm continues to grow in size. While dry air and wind shear on its west side are keeping it from strengthening further right now, its expanding wind field means the storm\u2019s impacts will spread wider. Dangerous rip currents have already led to water rescues along parts of the coast, and conditions will only worsen heading into midweek.Hurricane Stats:The track is now looking more locked in. As of Tuesday afternoon, Erin began its expected turn to the north, keeping the core \u201cjust offshore\u201d of the East Coast rather than continuing its westward nudge. That\u2019s good news, but the margin for error remains small \u2014 every mile matters.Hurricane Track:South Carolina Impacts Rip      Currents &amp; Surf: The biggest hazard continues to be rip currents,      which are already proving dangerous. Swells and surf will build Tuesday into Wednesday and Thursday with waves of 5\u20137 feet possible along      the coast. Rain\/Wind:      Direct wind and rain impacts remain limited unless Erin jogs west, but      feeder bands could spark scattered storms. Spaghetti Models: North Carolina Impacts Outer      Banks: This remains the area most at risk for direct impacts. If the track      holds just offshore, winds of 60\u201370 mph are likely Wednesday night into      Thursday. Coastal      Flooding: Waves could reach 20\u201325 feet along the Outer Banks, leading to      overwash and flooding of vulnerable coastal roads. Mandatory evacuations      are already underway. Inland      NC: Rainfall amounts remain limited and little to no wind impacts.Timing Tuesday:      Storm is turning north, surf already building, rip currents high. Wednesday\u2013Thursday:      Peak impact window. Strongest winds, highest waves, and worst flooding      risk for the Outer Banks.
