Hurricane Erin is expected to bring large waves, rough surf and life-threatening rip currents from Florida to Canada
Forecasters are tracking three systems in the Atlantic basin, including one with a medium chance of becoming a tropical depression later this week.
While forecasters remain confident the center of the storm will remain far offshore, the outer edges are likely to bring damaging tropical-force winds, large swells and life-threatening rip currents.
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.
Hurricane force winds extend up to 80 miles from the center. Tropical storm force winds extend up to 205 miles out.
