At 1:09 p.m. on Tuesday, the NWS Newport/Morehead City NC issued a tropical storm warning for East Carteret. The following information is provided by the NWS:
While Tropical Rainstorm Erin continues to generate rough surf and coastal hazards, AccuWeather meteorologists are monitoring additional tropical waves near the region where Erin initially formed earlier this month.
Tropical Storm Erin's path puts some homeowners at heightened risk, as the storm starts building into a hurricane tracked by meteorologists.
Meteorologists are monitoring two disturbances behind Hurricane Erin that could strengthen into tropical storms this week.
Erin is the fifth named storm to develop during the Atlantic hurricane season, which started just over two months ago. Last week, Tropical Storm Dexter formed in the western Atlantic but didn't pose a threat to land. In early July, Tropical Storm Chantal made landfall on the Carolina coast, bringing deadly flooding to the region.
The sixth-named storm of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season will be Fernand. Fernand? If you're thinking to pronounce it based on memories of that Ferdinand the bull story from childhood, think again, since you'd be wrong.
