Meteorologist Myles Henderson’s First Warning Forecast

Hurricane Erin to brush by the North Carolina coast on Thursday. Clearing, calming, and lower humidity to end the week.

Partly to mostly cloudy skies today with scattered showers. Expect highs in the mid 80s, but it will feel more like the low to mid 90s with the humidity. Winds will start to pick up through the day.

Hurricane Erin is forecast to slide just off the NC coastline Thursday. Even though the core of this storm is expected to stay over the water, we will still feel the outside impacts. Expect several days of rough surf and high risk for rip currents. Coastal flooding threats will increase for Thursday and ocean overwash is likely along the Outer Banks. The biggest flooding threat will be near high tide Thursday evening. T
