The effects of Hurricane Erin are expected to be felt up and down the East Coast, even if the storm remains at sea. Much of the shore from Florida to the Mid-Atlantic could see a high risk of rip currents as soon as Monday. Ali Bauman reports and Andrew Kozak takes a look at the forecast.

New York

Hurricane Erin, which recently intensified to a category five before weakening to a category three, is impacting the Caribbean and is expected to affect the US East Coast. Although the storm is not forecast to make landfall in the United States, it is generating dangerous rip currents and rough surf from Florida to the Mid-Atlantic, with marine warnings issued along much of the coastline.

Authorities are urging beachgoers to heed red flag warnings and only swim where lifeguards are present, as deadly rip currents have already claimed lives this season. The storm is also expected to cause beach erosion and waves up to 15 feet in some areas, with the risk of coastal flooding prompting further caution.

Hurricane Erin expected to bring dangerous riptides to East Coast

Turning now to Hurricane Aaron. Tonight, thousands of people are without power in Puerto Rico as the dangerous storm batters the Caribbean. CBS's Ali Bauman is at New York's Manhattan Beach with new details on the storm's expected impact on the East Coast. Ali. Tariqa, the effects of Hurricane Aaron are expected to be felt up and down the East Coast even if the storm remains at sea. Much of the shore from Florida to the Mid-Atlantic could see a high risk of rip currents, as soon as tomorrow. Hurricane Aaron whipped up waves, slapping Puerto Rico's seawalls. The storm exploded to a category five this weekend. Hurricane hunters in the eye wall before it weakened to a category three. Even without a direct hit to the U.S. mainland, Hurricane Aaron is expected to create rough conditions along the eastern seaboard. Regardless of whether it moves a little to the left or to the right, we still are seeing a major, major rip current risk unfolding. We've already seen the deadly effects of rip currents this summer. Drone video captured the rescue of five swimmers in Seaside Heights, New Jersey, just last week. One man did not survive. I heard screams and one woman coming, running over here when the, I think, believe the last individual was pulled out. Crowds are packing New York's Manhattan Beach today, but it's possible by the end of the week, swimmers may not be allowed in the water. I was like watching the weather, like it was like a sports game, like is it gonna land on this day? Is it gonna land on this day? Anybody who didn't get out today or tomorrow, you're missing it. And remember to check red flag warnings before getting into the water, and only swim if a lifeguard is on duty. Jerica, swimmers should know if they do get caught in a rip current, swim parallel to the shore. Great advice, Allie Bauman, thank you. For more insight on Aaron's track, let's check in with CBS News meteorologist, Andrew Kozak, who is in Philadelphia. Andrew. Yeah, good evening, Jerica. We have been tracking Hurricane Aaron as a category three hurricane since this morning, with winds of 125 miles per hour, right now over the warm waters of the Dominican Republic. Now, if you remember yesterday, it went from a one to a category five in less than 12 hours, so it's weakened. Let's talk about why. It's called the eyewall replacement cycle. Basically, what this means is a cluster of thunderstorms has formed around the old eye, essentially creating a new eyewall. The whole process regenerates the storm, but in that process, it weakens. Now, it doesn't look like it'll weaken for long. Look at the ocean temperatures, water temperatures, 88 degrees, 85, that is conducive for this storm to not only continue to redevelop, but potentially become a category four by early in the week, and then weaken as it moves off. So, no, we are not expecting a landfall here in the U.S., but we will see the effects. Beach erosion, waves of 12 to 15 feet for areas like Cape Hatteras, and that's why tonight, for the beach erosion and the coastal flooding possibilities, we have marine warnings from Georgia all the way up to Maine. Jerica? All right, Andrew Kozak, appreciate it.
