Meteorologists are closely tracking the projected path and forecast of Hurricane Erin, which is the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year.

Hurricane Erin is expected to bring flooding to parts of the Jersey Shore and coastal Delaware on Thursday, Aug. 21. NBC10 has the timing and impact.

Hurricane Erin is expected to bring dangerous surf at the Jersey Shore even as it stays off of the coast. Lifeguards are issuing renewed advice about what to do if you get caught in a rip current.

Every week in the summer, Delaware Online/The News Journal provides this weekly guide to the Delaware beaches. Here's what's happening this week. Hurricane Erin isn't expected to make landfall, but the magnitude of the storm means that even as it passes hundreds of miles offshore, its effects will be felt along the coast.

Beaches along the New Jersey coast and in Delaware were closed Tuesday as the powerful storm churned in the Atlantic. New York City announced its beaches would close on Wednesday and Thursday.

Hurricane Erin is expected to grow as it moves over the Atlantic through the week, causing dangerous rip currents, heavy rain, and strong winds along the East Coast.
