Hurricane Erin will bring life-threatening surf and rip-currents to parts of the U.S. coast this week, despite its path keeping it well offshore, according to the forecasters with the National Hurricane Center.
Tropical storm and storm surge watches have been issued for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. High seas and rip-currents are possible from Florida through New England.
As of early Tuesday, Erin was a Category 3 hurricane near the Bahamas, with tropical-storm-force winds extended out hundreds of miles from its core.
