Hurricane Erin Expected to Impact Some Florida Tourist Experiences Early Next Week as First Big Storm of the Season
The upcoming weather predictions suggest that Erin might head north after moving past the northern Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands. This movement should prevent a direct hit on Florida. However, towards the beginning of next week, Florida’s eastern coast could still experience elevated wave activity and potentially hazardous rip currents, even if the storm remains offshore. Therefore, tourists intending to visit Daytona Beach or St. Augustine might want to consider alternate plans if beach activities seem unwise. Furthermore, vacationers planning cruises or maritime trips along the Eastern United States seaboard may benefit from contacting their respective cruise companies to ensure a smooth voyage.
