Hurricane Erin weakened overnight, but still remains a category 2 storm and could strengthen today as it moves up the East Coast, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As of 2 p.m. Aug. 20, Erin was located about 455 south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. It had sustained winds of 100 mph and is moving north-northwest at 13 mph. It will start making its turn north on Aug. 20, followed by a faster motion toward the northeast and east-northeast by Aug. 21 and 22.

The National Hurricane Center said early on Aug. 20 that the storm had reformed an inner eye wall , and a Hurricane Hunter mission this morning is expected to help the center determine if winds have increased in response.

"Erin is a large hurricane and growing," the weather service said the morning of Aug. 20.
