The Atlantic basin includes the northern Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea and Gulf of America, as the Gulf of Mexico is now known in the U.S. per an order from President Trump. NOAA and the National Hurricane Center are now using Gulf of America on its maps and in its advisories.

Additional strengthening is expected as the storm is forecast to “remain a large and dangerous major hurricane through the middle of this week,” the National Hurricane Center said.

Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic, packing winds of 140 miles per hour and is expected to begin turning north over the next several days and parallel the East Coast. The high surf and rip currents are forecast to ramp up Thursday and Friday as the storm passes the Northeast.

Rip currents are the third leading cause of deaths from hurricanes, and they can happen on a sunny day hundreds of miles from the storm.

Though Hurricane Erin is expected to continue moving out to sea, the Steamship Authority on Monday released a travel advisory.
