ORLANDO, Fla. – Hurricane Erin remains the main story in the tropics this week as it tracks just off shore of the Eastern Seaboard. Coastal flooding is ongoing along parts of the North Carolina and Mid-Atlantic coasts, and beach conditions remain dangerous up and down the U.S. East Coast from Florida to Maine.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking four systems in the Atlantic, including Hurricane Erin and Invest 99L.

Erin became a Category 5 hurricane Saturday morning in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean but has now weakened to a Category 2.

Meteorologists are closely tracking the projected path and forecast of Hurricane Erin, which is the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year.
