Erin Racing Away From U.S.; East Coast Rip Currents Linger

Hurricane Erin continues to grow in size as it starts to become a post-tropical system. Despite its forecast to become post-tropical, impacts will remain the same. Coastal flooding will be possible across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic during the next high tide cycle tonight before water levels start to drop. More importantly, Erin’s high rip current risk will continue along the East Coast this weekend, so please pay attention to beach flags and only swim, if allowed, near lifeguards.
