Hurricane Erin has weakened slightly overnight but remains a very strong storm with winds well over 120 mph, making it still a major hurricane. The track remains mostly unchanged. It will start making that northern turn in the next 24 hours.

Green flags lined Fort Lauderdale Beach on Sunday, signaling calm conditions. But as Hurricane Erin approaches, officials say things could change in the coming days.

Hurricane Erin continues its path through the Atlantic, prompting rip current warnings and surf advisories across much of the U.S. East

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.
