Erin has become Post-Tropical as it continues to move away from the United States and into cooler waters of the northern Atlantic. All coastal watches and warnings are no longer in effect.

We are watching two systems behind Erin. One, south of Bermuda, is likely to become Tropical Storm Fernand this weekend.

A wave near the Leeward Islands is likely to develop this weekend, with a high chance of becoming a depression or storm. Invest 99L in the tropical Atlantic has a medium chance. An area in the central subtropical Atlantic has a low chance of development.

Hurricane Erin was battering the northeast with strong winds and heavy surf on Friday morning as forecasters monitored three other systems in the Atlantic for possible tropical formation.

An area of showers and thunderstorms associated with a tropical wave about 100 miles east-northeast of the Northern Leeward Islands is "very likely" to strengthen into a tropical depression or tropical storm over the weekend, the National Hurricane Center said on Friday.

A wave near the Leeward Islands is likely to develop this weekend, with a 70% chance of becoming a depression. Invest 99L off Africa has a 40% chance. An area near the Azores has a low chance of development.

There is a Fox 26 Storm Alert in place for Friday afternoon due to expected scattered and heavy storms between 2-9p.m.

It appears the angry ocean over-performed, as waves on some beaches towered several feet higher than expected.
