Hurricane Erin will stay offshore as it moves through the Atlantic Ocean, but there will be impacts felt up and down the East Coast.
Severe Weather Team 2 Meteorologist Eboni Deon says there are tropical storm watches and warnings in effect for the mid- Atlantic coast and North Carolina coast until further notice.

A high surf advisory is also in effect for coastal Georgia. Deon says waves could reach up to 6 feet.
Along with the high surf, there is a dangerous rip current risk through Wednesday evening.
Remember that rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. If you get caught in a rip current, experts say it’s best to relax and float and not to swim against the current.
Pay attention to the flags that are flying on the beach:
- Red: High hazard
- Yellow: Moderate threat
- Green: Low danger
