Erin has become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season with strong waves and rip currents possible along the East Coast of the United States as early as next week.

Hurricane Erin could be near the southeast portion of Florida by Monday, Aug. 18 at 8 p.m. ET. This forecast track shows the most likely path of the center of the storm. It does not illustrate the full width of the storm or its impacts, and the center of the storm is likely to travel outside the cone up to 33% of the time.

Tonight’s sky will hide a rare surprise, but you’ll have to stay up pretty late to see it. A “Black Moon” will appear at around 2 a.m. EDT, which means it’s the third new moon in a season that has four. This only happens about every three years!

Hurricane Erin isn't forecast to hit land, but it will bring large waves and dangerous rip currents to the U.S. East Coast this week.
