Two areas to watch in the Atlantic Basin
This broad low pressure system is 500 miles south-southeast of Bermuda and strong steering is still in place to guide the storm away from the U.S. with a north to northeast track.
Much of North Carolina’s Outer Banks region is under a tropical storm watch with Hurricane Erin expected to skirt the area Wednesday through Thursday, according to the National Hurricane Center.
A watch means the ingredients are there for severe weather. A warning means it is happening. But there are differences based on weather type.
Although the storm is expected to stay offshore, it will produce dangerous surf conditions for much of the Atlantic Coast this week, forecasters say.
A tropical storm watch was issued by the NWS Newport/Morehead City NC on Monday at 4:50 p.m. in effect until Tuesday at 2 a.m. for Ocracoke Island.
An updated fire weather watch was released by the NWS Hanford CA on Monday at 7:50 p.m. valid from Wednesday 9 a.m. until Saturday 9 p.m. for Fort Tejon.
According to the National Weather Service, tornadoes are possible along with isolated hail up to quarter-size.
