The system could strengthen into a hurricane and may impact Bermuda, while Hurricane Erin continues to create dangerous swimming conditions at the Jersey Shore

Hurricane Erin continued to track away from the United States on Friday, and attention is turning to two other potential storms in the Atlantic Ocean. The National Hurricane Center thinks both of the systems could become tropical depressions soon. And one seems to be on a path that those in the Caribbean will need to watch.

Erin remains a Category 2 hurricane early Thursday with winds of 105 mph and tropical storm warnings are still in effect for the Outer Banks of North Carolina. The storm is larger

Lifeguard and firefighters rescued swimmers in Rye on Friday when a hurricane passed well offshore of New Hampshire.

The National Hurricane Center warned that roads in the low-lying barrier islands will become impassable, with waves of 15 to 20 feet crashing ashore.

Strong winds and waves battered Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard and dangerous rip currents threatened from the Carolinas to New England as Hurricane Erin made its way farther out to sea. The storm was forecast to cause possible coastal flooding into the weekend along the East Coast but was also expected to gradually lose strength.

Giant Hurricane Erin is moving away from land and its effect on the ocean along the East Coast is slowly diminishing. Miraculously, the storm will head out to sea having done little more than brush land areas.

Hurricane Erin is entering the first stages of a post-tropical transition as it continues to move away from the eastern coast of the United States.
