Hurricane Erin has re-intensified into a powerful Category 4 hurricane with winds of 130 mph after completing an eyewall replacement cycle. Erin is now a very large hurricane and is expected to bring life-threatening surf and rip currents along the entire U.S. East Coast, including North Carolina’s Outer Banks.

As the storm grows in size and tracks northwest, residents of coastal North Carolina should closely monitor updates this week. Even if Erin stays offshore, the dangerous surf, rip currents, and coastal flooding risks are significant.

To start your new work week, Meteorologist Frank Strait with the latest from the Carolina Weather Group.

We break down:

Erin’s latest track and strength

What it means for the Outer Banks and NC beaches

Timeline for rough surf, rip currents, and possible outer rainbands

Impacts for Bermuda and Atlantic Canada later this week

How rainfall triggers pollution and E. coli spikes in local lakes and rivers

The history and mission of the Catawba Riverkeeper organization

Flooding aftermath from Tropical Storm Chantal

Urban vs rural flash flooding across the Carolinas

In this emotional and informative episode of the Carolina Weather Group, we examine the devastating flash flooding disasters that unfolded in early July 2025 in both Texas and the Carolinas.

With over 100 confirmed fatalities in Texas and more than 150 missing, meteorologists and scientists recount the harrowing moments and explain how a stalled storm system overwhelmed Kerrville and surrounding areas.

We also discuss Tropical Storm Chantal’s impact on the Carolinas, where unprecedented rainfall led to a 1-in-1,000-year flooding event.

This conversation unpacks the science behind the flooding, the role of climate change, and the urgent need for improved flood response systems.

Our guests:

Troy Kimmel, a meteorologist in Austin, Texas with experience in emergency response. He's also a panelist on the WeatherBrains podcast.

Dr. Kristina Dahl, Climate Central’s Vice President for Science

Jordan McLeod, our former panelist, formerly of the Southeast Regional Climate Center

📌 Topics include:

Why Texas Hill Country is prone to deadly flooding

How climate change is fueling more intense and inland rain events

Emotional stories from first responders and weather professionals

The future of flood mitigation and disaster preparedness

🛰 Stay informed. Stay safe.
