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.
The storm has already prompted evacuation orders on North Carolina's Outer Banks and warnings about dangerous rip currents and swells along the East Coast.
Two more tropical systems trail Hurricane Erin, which is following a projected course that brushes past the East Coast without making landfall.

North Carolina's coast under a new Tropical Storm Warning: Latest on Hurricane Erin, track and maps
Hurricane Erin continues to track along the Atlantic Coast this week. It has encountered some wind shear and dry air along its northwest flank, and that has impacted the structure of the storm. The storm has also slowed down since the weekend.
While Erin is expected to take a northward turn in the Atlantic, a new system off the coast of Africa has the National Hurricane Center's attention.
