“Erin” is the first Atlantic hurricane of the season (avg. date is Aug. 11). We are still forecasting a move north, far to the east of Florida. Local impacts will include rough seas & surf & a high rip current risk at area beaches much of next week.
No inland impacts and no increase in rainfall. If anything, drier conditions mid-week. Always more: “Talking the Tropics With Mike”.
