Charlotte, NC — Hurricane Erin continues its northward journey, impacting Eastern North Carolina with winds of 110 mph and large waves along the Outer Banks. Minor storm surge and Tropical Storm Force Winds are expected through the evening and overnight hours.
Central Carolinas to Remain Mostly Dry
While the storm affects the coast, sinking air at the edge of Erin is helping to prevent significant rain in the central Carolinas. Dry and warm weather is forecast for the rest of the week, with another front expected Monday, bringing mild humidity for the middle of the week.
Tonight and Thursday: Isolated Showers in the Mountains
As Erin continues to lash the Outer Banks, isolated showers and storms are anticipated in the mountain areas of North Carolina this evening, with lows near 70°F. In the central Carolinas, however, the night will remain largely dry.
