South Florida saw the indirect impacts of Hurricane Erin. The NEXT Weather team said through Saturday there will be an increased risk of swells, rip currents and higher tides.

After post-tropical cylone Erin moves out to sea and two other systems fizzle out, the tropics will take a short break. But forecasters warn that it’s far too soon to let your guard down

The National Hurricane Center is tracking four systems in the Atlantic, including Hurricane Erin and newly designated Invest 90L.

Erin’s surf and storm surge could cause erosion along sections of the Florida and East Coast and shapes up as potentially worse for North Carolina’s barrier islands, which are under mandatory evacuation orders ahead of the four feet of storm surge and 20-foot offshore waves Erin is expected to bring.

Hurricane Erin is continuing to inch closer to the United States, and the storm is expected to bring dangerous high surf and life-threatening rip currents to Florida through the middle of the week.

Thunderstorms and rain continue to sweep across Florida after Hurricane Erin veered away at the last moment and passed by the Sunshine State with relatively minor impact. Dangerous rip current warnings are still in place as the passing storm causes massive waves and irregular patterns in the water.
