Hurricane Erin impacts begin along coast: Here's the latest track and timing of impacts

GREENVILLE, S.C. —

Hurricane Erin is now a Category 2, but the storm continues to grow in size.

While dry air and wind shear on its west side are keeping it from strengthening further right now, its expanding wind field means the storm’s impacts will spread wider.

Dangerous rip currents have already led to water rescues along parts of the coast, and conditions will only worsen heading into midweek.

The track is now looking more locked in. As of Tuesday afternoon, Erin began its expected turn to the north, keeping the core “just offshore” of the East Coast rather than continuing its westward nudge. That’s good news, but the margin for error remains small — every mile matters.
