Hurricane Erin, now a Category 2 hurricane, won't make landfall on the U.S. East Coast, but it will impact residents and visitors at North Carolina's Outer Banks.

A tropical storm warning is in effect for the coastal regions of Virginia, the Outer Banks, Pamlico Sound, and the Eastern Shore. A coastal flood warning is in place from Thursday afternoon through Friday afternoon for coastal areas in Hampton Roads, on the Eastern Shore, and on the Outer Banks.

Erin is also impacting Florida beaches, with large swells and elevated rip current threats continuing. The hurricane will continue to move away from the US today and slowly weaken late week. It is expected to be post-tropical by Saturday.

Hurricane Erin battered North Carolina’s Outer Banks with strong winds and waves that flooded part of the main highway and damaged buildings as the monster-sized storm slowly began to move away from the East Coast on Thursday.
