Hurricane Erin will make its closest pass to the Mid-Atlantic today, staying several hundred miles offshore but still delivering dangerous coastal conditions to Delaware and Maryland beaches. The storm is producing tropical-storm-force winds just off the coast, creating threats of beach erosion, life-threatening rip currents, and major tidal flooding along the Delaware shoreline. Conditions will improve tonight as Erin moves northeast, with fair and pleasant weather expected Friday and Saturday before another cold front brings unsettled conditions early next week.
Sunday will start with low clouds and patchy fog in the morning, but conditions will improve to a warm and muggy day for Delmarva.
A strong cold front will bring widespread rain and gusty winds to Delmarva late Wednesday evening into early Thursday. Gale warnings are in effect for coastal waters, while inland wind advisories may also be issued as the low-pressure system intensifies.
