Hurricane Erin remains a major hurricane with sustained winds near 125 mph and is expected to strengthen slightly as it turns northward in the next 48鈥�72 hours. Tropical-storm-force winds extend 175 miles from the center, placing the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Southeastern Bahamas at highest risk. From Sunday night through Tuesday, these areas may experience damaging winds, 4鈥�8 inches of rainfall, flash flooding, storm surge of 2鈥�4 feet, and dangerous marine conditions. While Erin is forecast to avoid direct landfall, its large wind field will produce hazardous impacts well beyond the center.
