Tracking Hurricane Erin

And of course with the latest on Hurricane Aaron as the East Coast and our area brace for the impacts. >> The category 2 storm is bringing life-threatening rip currents to the Jersey Shore and Delaware beaches. Officials are asking everyone to stay out of the water as conditions worsen. >> And this comes as the storm has already caused mandatory evacuations in parts of the Outer Banks in North Carolina. A lot of people down there for vacation right now. And while the storm isn't expected to make landfall, its strength is still being felt by millions. ABC's Victor Aquendo has the latest from Rodanthy, North Carolina. >> This morning, the Outer Banks under mandatory evacuation orders. Hurricane Aaron now measuring 600 m across and could produce winds of at least 120 mph. New satellite images showing lightning flashing around its eye. Coastal areas racing for waves of up to 20 feet. >> I think that the the biggest concern is this highway at sea level. You may not be able to drive for a few days. >> Life-threatening rip currents now reported along the east coast. >> Lifeguards racing into the water in Writesville Beach, North Carolina, where more than 50 people had to be rescued Monday. Multiple cruises forced to reroute due to the storm. >> Because of the storm's path, it's a no-go. >> Tracy Nicholson was headed to the Dominican Republic when the ship's captain said they had to change direction. >> At the end of the day, I want to be safe. I want to feel safe. As passengers, we all do. >> There is one main highway into Cape Padis. It's Highway 12. Officials tell me that it is common for waves to crash over the dunes that line the highway. They fully expect it to flood or worse, parts of it could get washed away entirely. Victor Okendo, ABC News, Rodanthy, North Carolina. >> So, let's turn now to the ACU weather forecast and the impacts from Hurricane Aaron. Sagitt right now is looking live at Ocean City. Again, Governor Murphy saying that he is really concerned about people being complacent and thinking that since the storm is missing us and we're not having a direct impact that they can, you know, kind of let their guard down and do what they want. But he is warning people to stay out of the water. >> You know, a lot of people who surf really like to take advantage of these waves. So, I think that message might be directed to people who see those skies which tell a story, but also know that ocean is turnurning. >> And not just surfers, but even people, Payton, who like to do a little body surfing, like they kind of like that the waves are higher. They don't realize the rip currents under there are nothing to sneer at. >> Correct. I mean, even the most advanced swimmers can really struggle in a setup like we have, not just today, but in the coming days. It's expected to intensify here. And Victor's story really hits close to home. I used to actually work down in the Hampton Roads area, and that was my old market. So, it's something very serious as obviously Hurricane Aaron is going to sneak its way up the eastern seabboard. It is going to come closest to Cape Padis in the Outer Banks and then it turns to the north and east. So for us, less in the way of those impacts. It's breezy down the shore today. Four to six foot waves are expected with that high risk of rip current still in place. A few spotty showers primarily from the city south and east here today. Clouds, even some sunshine through the Lehigh Valley, but again, obey the lifeguards today. I know four to six feet doesn't really seem like much, but those wave heights increase up to 11 feet by the time we get to Thursday. That's really the peak and the core of our impacts here.
