Hurricane Erin was a Category 4 storm Monday morning and is expected to retain major hurricane status through the middle of the week.

While Hurricane Erin is not expected to make landfall, the massive storm will bring dangerous waves and rip currents to Florida's east coast.

Hurricane Erin is moving east of the U.S. coast and will bring strong waves and rip currents to Florida's east coast – and it comes as the National Center is eyeing two more tropical waves in the Atlantic.

South Florida is not forecast to see direct impacts from Hurricane Erin, but rip currents and surf up to 6 feet, especially along Palm Beach, are likely.

The Atlantic basin includes the northern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America, as the Gulf of Mexico is now known in the U.S. per an order from President Trump. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center are now using Gulf of America on its maps and in its advisories.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking Tropical Storm Dexter, Invest 96L and system off the southeastern coast of the United States.
