Hurricane Erin forecast to create dangerous surf, high winds along US coast
- The 2025 Atlantic hurricane season began with a powerful storm that swiftly strengthened to a Category 5 hurricane on Saturday, reaching winds of 160 mph, before easing to a Category 3 by Sunday off the eastern coast of the United States.
- Erin's intensification resulted from warming Atlantic waters, leading to a sharp increase in size and tropical storm alerts for parts of the Bahamas and Turks and Caicos.
- The storm tracked steadily northwest then north-northeast near Bermuda, staying offshore but generating life-threatening rip currents, high surf, and minor coastal flooding from Florida to New England.
- Meteorologist Dave Radell warned of rip currents and waves up to 15 feet on Long Island's South Shore Monday into Tuesday, and forecasters noted a low gale gust risk near Moriches Inlet Thursday night.
- Dare County in North Carolina declared a state of emergency with mandatory evacuation of Hatteras Island due to expected heavy surf and flooding along barrier islands, while the storm's large size implies impacts far from its center.
