Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic waters hundreds of miles off the U.S., prompting officials to close beaches along the East Coast from the mid-Atlantic to the Northeast.

People trying to enjoy the last hurrahs of summer along the coast are being met on Wednesday with rip-current warnings, closed beaches and treacherous waves as Erin inches closer, once again on the cusp of becoming a major hurricane as it treks north after lashing Bermuda.

Hurricane Erin, which formed on August 11 and quickly intensified, is expected to largely impact the Outer Banks region of North Carolina and portions of coastal Virginia — though forecasters warn the storm’s impacts will also be felt in the northeast.

Hurricane Erin is bringing strong rip currents and high waves to beaches in NYC, Long Island and the Jersey Shore.

All beaches in Westchester, New York City and Long Island are closed completely, or closed to swimming, through Thursday, Aug. 21, as Hurricane Erin makes its way up the Atlantic coast. Erin began its upward movement along the Atlantic coast Aug.

The storm is bringing dangerous conditions to parts of the coast on Wednesday, but will then turn away from the United States.

Hurricane Erin is causing dangerous conditions at beaches along the Jersey Shore, NYC and Long Island, where some could see coastal flooding.
