While Hurricane Erin will pass to the east of the U.S., we could still see impacts. Tropical storm force winds extend 200 miles from the center of the storm, as the Erin continues to grow in size. The Eastern U.S., especially areas from North Carolina to the mid-Atlantic could face very large swells, rip currents and the possibility of rain from the outer bands of Erin.
