Weather / Beach Hazards
This article summarizes recent beach hazard statements issued for several counties in New York and discusses the potential impact of Tropical Storm Erin on Southern New England. Stay informed to ensure your safety at the beach.
The National Weather Service issued beach hazards statements for Cayuga and Oswego counties until Monday evening and for Chautauqua County until Sunday night, advising people to stay out of the water due to strong currents and dangerous swimming conditions. Meanwhile, Tropical Storm Erin's trajectory is being closely monitored for its potential impact on Southern New England. Although Erin is expected to weaken as it moves northward, it could still generate rough seas and dangerous rip currents, particularly along south-facing beaches. This is expected to occur around Thursday and Friday. A cold front will bring a brief respite from the humidity early in the week, followed by a chance of rain on Wednesday and Thursday.
