12z models are likely going to a bit off based on how rapidly the situation changed with Erin this morning, later runs may have caught up more. However, the major pattern hasn't changed, maybe shifted left some. Important to watch this though.

12z Icon, Euro, and the UKMet are all showing tropical storm force winds along the outer banks when it gets up there. is still east of it. None of them had intensity correct, however.

Today's 12Z vs 0z for Thursday 8/21/25 0z
This would bring very rough, truly life-threatening surf conditions to the OBX, to say nothing of the chance of a further westward adjustment wrt the wind.

NHC explicitly advertising that further forecast cone adjustments to the west may be coming

As Erin keeps expanding, the radius of tropical storm force and hurricane force winds have a good chance of being considerably larger than depicted in the models below. Waves and potentially coastal flooding may also be more significant than these runs suggest.

I have found it fascinating watching the model output consistently nudge west. And are my eyes deceiving me or has the storm really slowed down, almost like it's drifting NNW right now.
Just remarking, nothing rigorous right now.
