HURRICANE Larry threatens the East Coast with dangerous oceanic conditions while Tropical Storm Mindy is forming in the Gulf of Mexico and is expected to cross Florida's coastline Wednesday night.
Larry churned on Wednesday closer to Bermuda as it continues to affect the Northern Leeward Islands.
Predicted to remain out to sea in the Atlantic Ocean, Larry was expected to cause "significant swells" along the East Coast from midweek until the weekend.
"These swells will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip-conditions so beach-goers are urged to follow the guidance of lifeguards and local officials," said National Weather Service meteorologist Lara Pagano.
It comes as Tropical Storm "is expected to produce heavy rainfall from the Florida Panhandle into Southern parts of Georgia and South Carolina through Thursday morning," according to the NHC.
A tropical storm warning has been put into effect throughout the Florida Panhandle.
