General
Red flags, indicating swimming is prohibited, are raised at the beach in Duck, N.C., on Tuesday. Forecasters warn of dangerous rip currents along the East Coast.

Forecasts nudge Erin's likely path to the west, increasing the risks at U.S. beaches. Tropical storm conditions are expected in North Carolina's Outer Banks starting late Wednesday.
