Hurricane Erin continues its northerly track and is set to deliver impacts to the beaches in New Jersey and Delaware.

Beaches remain closed to swimming on Friday as strong rip currents from Hurricane Erin continue to create dangerous conditions.

Those traveling down the shore today and this weekend are still advised to be mindful of powerful rip currents and safety warnings despite the weather appearing to be calmer Friday. Stay out of the water until it is fully safe.

Hurricane Erin strengthened on Wednesday as it headed north in the Atlantic. Here's the latest update, path, warnings and more for the Jersey Shore.

New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy has declared a State of Emergency Thursday for Hurricane Erin. Hurricane Erin pounded the North Carolina coast with strong waves and gusty winds as it slowly moved out to sea Thursday. It was still considered dangerous for beachgoers along the U.S. East Coast.

Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic waters hundreds of miles off the coast, but New Jersey and Delaware beaches will still be feeling impacts from the storm through the week.

Increased surf and dangerous rip currents are expected to continue along the eastern seaboard as Hurricane Erin moves into the North Atlantic.
