Frequent lightning is expected too in storms.<\/li>\n<li>Rain will end after sunset tonight inland, with some coastal showers\/isolated storm possible early Sunday morning.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>More afternoon thunderstorms are expected Sunday, again shifting inland with time.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The beaches are expected to see the least amount of rain this weekend, and west of the St. Johns River the most.<\/li>\n<li>Rip current risk this weekend: Low to moderate, unaffected by distant Hurricane Erin. Wave heights around 2 feet.<\/li>\n<li>Rip current risk quickly begins to rise Monday and especially Tuesday as swells from Hurricane Erin reach our coast. Dangerous, life-threatening rip currents are expected up and down our coast for several days next week, in addition to large breaking waves of generally 5-8\u2032.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 dbPNdY body-paragraph\"><b>TROPICS: <\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Hurricane Erin is rapidly intensifying on Saturday morning and is a major hurricane. As of the 11 a.m. advisory, Erin was upgraded to a Category 5.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>The core of Erin will safely pass north of Puerto Rico and the USVI, and a high confidence track of a path between the Bahamas and Bermuda. This keeps Erin far, far away from our local area.<\/li>\n<li>Erin will be a very large hurricane as it passes our latitude and will push strong swells toward our entire coastline, arriving Monday and lasting through around Thursday.<\/li>\n<li>Expect several days of dangerous rip currents and high surf of generally 5-8\u2032 up and down our beaches. This may cause some minor beach erosion around the times of high tide.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 dbPNdY body-paragraph\"><b>Take a look at the First Alert Weather Team 7-day forecast:<\/b><\/p>\n<p class=\"default__StyledText-sc-tl066j-0 dbPNdY body-paragraph\">SATURDAY: Hot and humid with scattered afternoon\/evening showers and storms.
