Overview

• Erin has weakened to Category 1 and is racing northeast, beginning a post‑tropical transition while remaining a large, powerful ocean low.
• Life‑threatening surf and rip currents are ongoing along more than 1,000 miles of shoreline, keeping swimming off‑limits at New York City and many New Jersey and Long Island beaches.
• New Jersey is under a state of emergency after waves and high tides flooded streets and eroded beaches, with water rescues reported in shore communities.
• North Carolina’s Outer Banks reported dune breaches and overwash that closed sections of NC Highway 12 and severed access to Ocracoke’s ferry, alongside more than 70 rip‑current rescues this week.
• Coastal alerts reach into New England, including Maine’s coastal flood and high surf advisories, as forecasters track impacts to Atlantic Canada and monitor additional Atlantic disturbances for potential development.
