Storm update as info from our trusted local weatherman.
For those currently in-house or arriving in the next several days... the current forecast for Erin is that it will NOT directly impact the Grand Strand area, but rather turn north. We will experience rough ocean conditions next week, but as of now are not expected to have high winds or rain. We will continue to update as necessary. The resort will remain open unless there is an active threat of a major storm to our area and a mandatory evacuation.

TROPICAL STORM ERIN UPDATE
7 PM THURSDAY 8-14-2025

After a relaxing afternoon in the lagoon at CocoCay in the Bahamas, I’m back in my room before dinner with an update on Tropical Storm Erin. Bottom line: no surprises today, and my forecast remains the same.

Erin has shaken off the dry, dusty air and is now strengthening. With warm water and low wind shear ahead, steady intensification is expected. Erin is likely to reach hurricane strength Friday and become a major hurricane (Category 3 or higher) over the weekend.

The track outlook hasn’t changed either. The western edge of the Bermuda high is still forecast to weaken as the jet stream dips south, allowing Erin to gradually curve northwest, then north, late this weekend into next week. The exact sharpness of that turn remains uncertain, but most scenarios show Erin passing between the Outer Banks and Bermuda Wednesday. A track on the far western edge of the model guidance is very unlikely, and even in that case, wind and rain wouldn’t reach us.

Although rain and wind are very unlikely here, Erin is expected to grow into a large, powerful hurricane that will send long-period swells toward the coast. This means big surf and dangerous rip currents all next week, even with the weather on land staying fairly nice. Keep your beach plans, but PLEASE use extra caution in the water.

As always, until the turn actually occurs, we watch just in case.
