Two more tropical systems trail Hurricane Erin, which is following a projected course that brushes past the East Coast without making landfall.

Hurricane Erin's large and expanding wind field will bring storm-driven waves, coastal erosion, and high seas, particularly impacting the Outer Banks.

Several beaches along North Carolina's Outer Banks have already closed and evacuations are underway due to the expected storm surge from Hurricane Erin. FOX Weather Storm Specialist Mike Seidel has the latest from Rodanthe.

Hurricane Erin is expected to grow in size and strength as it moves north through the Atlantic this week. Forecasters expect it to pass well offshore of North Carolina on Wednesday and Thursday, but say it likely will cause coastal flooding and erosion, along with dangerous rip currents.

Hurricane Erin rapidly intensified last week, going from a Category 1 hurricane to a Category 5 hurricane with winds of 160 mph in a matter of hours.
