As Hurricane Erin lifts northward into the Atlantic, it will drag drier air into Florida. The result will be lower rain and storm chances midweek, with temps in the mid 90s. The moisture looks to quickly build for the back end of next week, with temps holding in the mid 90s.
5 p.m. Update: Erin is now organizing and strengthening over the Central Atlantic. Erin is expected to become at least a Catgory 3 hurricane but missing Puerto Rico to the north and staying well east of Florida. It is expected to reach Jacksonville’s latitude about early Wednesday, resulting in some rough seas and surf at area beaches next week.
Hurricane season spans from June 1 to November 30. Here’s what you should know before Erin or any future storm approaches land.
