South Florida saw the indirect impacts of Hurricane Erin. The NEXT Weather team said through Saturday there will be an increased risk of swells, rip currents and higher tides.

Can you ride out a Category 5 hurricane on the 50th floor? Would you want to? You might not make it through the storm alive, experts say. Even if you do, your building won’t likely be the same when the storm is over.

Hurricane Erin is tracking northwest between the U.S. East Coast and Bermuda, bringing dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents to Florida and the Carolinas through midweek.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking four systems in the Atlantic, including Hurricane Erin and newly designated Invest 90L.

Erin’s surf and storm surge could cause erosion along sections of the Florida and East Coast and shapes up as potentially worse for North Carolina’s barrier islands, which are under mandatory evacuation orders ahead of the four feet of storm surge and 20-foot offshore waves Erin is expected to bring.

Conditions along the coast are expected to deteriorate Wednesday as Hurricane Erin moves north-northwest off Florida.

As Thursday winds down in Central Florida, a few evening thunderstorms are expected. In addition, the FOX 35 Storm Team is continuing to monitor the dangerous rip currents and surf coming from Hurricane Erin as it passes by the East Coast.

It will be a case of "rinse and repeat" on Saturday and Sunday as the unsettled pattern continues. The mornings look mainly dry but scattered storms will develop in the afternoons and evenings. Highs will remain above average, in the low-to-mid 90s, and heat indices will soar to the 100s when the humidity is factored in.
