Life-threatening rip currents are a major concern along the beaches of the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda throughout the rest of the week.

Tropical storm conditions and coastal flooding are possible in the North Carolina Outer Banks by late Wednesday into Thursday morning. Storm surge areas across the Carolinas could reach between 2-4 feet producing significant flooding well inland from the beaches.

Deadly rip currents will form along the east coast. (Copyright 2025 by KPRC Click2Houston - All rights reserved.)

The tropical storm train continues in the Atlantic:

A tropical wave in the eastern tropical Atlantic has a 60% chance of development into a tropical system within the next 7 days. This storm is tracking farther south than Erin. If it can remain disorganized for several more days it has a chance to move into the Caribbean and possibly the Gulf.

If it strengthens quickly it will follow the path of Erin and remain over the ocean. We’ll keep you posted. You also see a new tropical wave coming off the African continent that is now at a 30% chance of development.
