Life threatening rip currents and high surf this week

Erin is setting records as it became the third hurricane to have the most significant pressure drop in history. Maximum sustained winds increased 85 mph in just 24 hours!

Erin becomes the first hurricane of the 2025 season. It is expected to remain north of the Leeward Islands and bring high swells and rough seas for the eastern Seaboard.

Tropical Storm Erin continues to gain strength and enters warmer ocean waters. The track looks to favor the Caribbean and the U.S.; there will still be indirect impacts.

The fifth named storm of the season has formed. Erin is forecast to become the first hurricane of the season by the end of the week, likely staying north of the Caribbean.

Almost a foot of rain fell Sunday in Sanibel

Many flood advisories have been placed in effect all throughout the weekend across many areas. The rain chances continue to be higher than usual for this time of year.

Don´t fall for the clickbait about a hurricane two weeks out over your location or near. Follow reliable sources.

Saturated soils increase vulnerability to winds

Although the forecast decreased, it was only very slightly. There are still higher-than-average odds for this season to be active. Check your plans.
