Although Hurricane Erin passed well offshore on August 21, the wind field was so large that northerly winds gusted to 30 to 40 miles per hour from 3 AM EST through 4 PM EST. The peak gust was 40 mph at the Elizabeth City Regional Airport ASOS around 8 AM.

The wider storm

The center of Hurricane Erin stayed several hundred miles east of the Middle Atlantic coast on August 21, 2025. However, due the extremely large size of the cyclone with an expansive wind field, tropical storm force gusts occurred over the Atlantic, Currituck Sound, and northeast North Carolina.
