Hurricane Erin is not set to make landfall this week, but will likely cause heavy rainfall, flooding and life-threatening rip currents along the U.S. East Coast this week.

Host Sarah McCammon gets more from Tim Miller, the chief meteorologist and director at FPREN — Florida Public Radio Emergency Network — who's been keeping an eye on the storm.

This segment aired on August 18, 2025.
