The ocean water temperature was 71 degrees on Monday (Sept. 15). A
tropical storm named Edouard became a hurricane on Sunday, and while it's track will be thousands of miles away over the open water of the Atlantic Ocean, there's a good chance it could send strong surf and currents to the East Coast by mid-week.
For more information on guarded beaches, refer to radio 1620 AM or Ocean City TV information channel 97.
