Hurricane Erin is still at sea, but her wrath is hitting New York and New Jersey in the form of dangerous rip currents that have shut down beaches. Waves could reach up to 13 feet at some beaches, according to New York City Mayor Eric Adams.

As of Wednesday afternoon, Erin held strong as a Category 2 hurricane, packing maximum sustained winds of 110 mph (180 kph). It was located about 365 miles (590 kilometers) south-southeast of Cape Hatteras, and its enormous wind field continues to grow.

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.

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

The Norwegian Escape is extending its visit to New York City due to the impact of Hurricane Erin on the East Coast. After repositioning from Miami, the Norwegian Cruise Line ship was scheduled to sail from its new homeport on Wednesday.

NYC's mixed weather includes slight showers, sunny days, with a hazardous weather outlook due to Hurricane Erin.

As Tropical Storm Erin moves through the Atlantic, New Yorkers may need to skip some beach days as there's some potential for dangerous rip currents.
