Hurricane Larry remains Category 3 storm, bringing rip current threat to Central Florida

Hurricane Larry is still a Category 3 storm as of Sunday morning and will remain in the Atlantic, Channel 9 meteorologist Kassandra Crimi said.

Locally, Larry will increase our surf this week as well as our rip current threat as swells head our direction, Crimi said.
