MORNING HEADLINES | A sprawling, powerful Hurricane Erin is churning toward the mid-Atlantic but is not to directly pound the U.S. coastline. But that doesn’t mean it won’t have a major impact as forecasters are warning of rip currents and towering waves along the Eastern seaboard.

According to a National Hurricane Center advisory this morning, the storm, which returned to Category 4 strength in recent hours, is located just east of the southeast Bahamas and is about 890 miles south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, N.C.

A gradual turn to the north is expected later today. The storm is expected to move between Bermuda and the east coast of the United States by mid-week.
