TROPICS:
Hurricane Erin is on the move in the Western Atlantic Ocean. It is a large and powerful storm that will bring rough surf, gusty winds and coastal breach erosion to the region.
It is forecast to curve away from the Bahamas and make a northeasterly turn through today. The forecast cone has it going between the East Coast of the US and Bermuda through the rest of the week.
