when is the hurricane hitting florida

The hurricane named Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, formed around August 11 and reached its peak intensity by mid-August. It moved west-northwestward across the Atlantic but is not expected to make direct landfall in Florida. Instead, it will likely pass east of Florida, avoiding direct impacts on the state. However, Florida's east coast and beaches are expected to experience dangerous rip currents and elevated surf conditions due to the hurricane's proximity. These hazardous surf conditions could persist along the east coast starting from the days following the hurricane's formation in mid-August, lasting into the week after August 15-20, 2025. In summary, Hurricane Erin is not forecasted to hit or make landfall in Florida directly but will influence coastal conditions with rip currents and surf risks around mid to late August 2025.
