Erin To Maintain Major Hurricane Status Through Mid-Week

Major Hurricane Erin may have topped out in terms of intensity, but the storm is still expected to grow in terms of size, which will bring rip currents and high surf conditions to much of the U.S. East Coast this week. The storm has now begun its northwestward curve, and that new trajectory will send it up alongside the coast. Tropical storm watches have been issued for parts of coastal North Carolina.
