Overview

• Erin is a large Category 1 hurricane with 90 mph winds several hundred miles offshore, moving northeast, and U.S. tropical warnings tied to its core have been discontinued, according to the National Hurricane Center.
• Life‑threatening rip currents and 4–10 foot breaking waves continue from the Mid‑Atlantic to New England, with New York City beaches closed to swimming and Maine under coastal flood and high‑surf advisories around Friday night high tides.
• Dune breaches and overwash have closed portions of North Carolina’s Highway 12 on the Outer Banks, with additional flooding at high tide and no timeline yet for full reopening as crews clear sand and debris.
• New Jersey remains under a state of emergency after tidal flooding and rough surf swamped coastal roads, and officials across the region report numerous water rescues and ongoing beach restrictions.
• Forecasters say Erin will transition to a post‑tropical system this weekend, while the NHC tracks multiple Atlantic disturbances, including one near the northern Leeward Islands with an 80%–90% chance of development in the coming days.
