Issued: 2:46 AM Aug. 22, 2025 – National Weather Service
...COASTAL FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 PM EDT FRIDAY... ...HIGH SURF ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EDT FRIDAY... ...BEACH HAZARDS STATEMENT REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY EVENING... * WHAT...For the Beach Hazards Statement, a high risk for rip currents. For the High Surf Advisory, large breaking waves of 8 to 12 feet in the surf zone. For the Coastal Flood Advisory, up to one foot of inundation above ground level in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. For the Coastal Flood Warning, one to two feet of inundation above ground level expected in low-lying areas near shorelines and tidal waterways. * WHERE...In Maryland, Maryland Beaches County. In Virginia, Accomack and Northampton Counties. * WHEN...For the High Surf Advisory, until 7 AM EDT Friday. For the Beach Hazards Statement, through Friday evening. For the Coastal Flood Warning, until 2 PM EDT Friday. * IMPACTS...Numerous roads may be closed. Low lying property including homes, businesses, and some critical infrastructure may be inundated. Very dangerous swimming and surfing conditions are expected, as well as the wave action resulting in significant beach erosion. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water. Dangerous shore break can throw a swimmer or surfer head first into the bottom causing neck and back injuries. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Take the necessary actions to protect flood-prone property. If travel is required, do not drive around barricades or through water of unknown depth. Inexperienced swimmers should remain out of the water due to dangerous surf conditions.

Tropical Weather Statement
Issued: 11:47 PM Aug. 21, 2025 – National Weather Service
This product covers CENTRAL AND EASTERN VIRGINIA...NORTHEAST NORTH CAROLINA...AND THE LOWER MARYLAND EASTERN SHORE **ERIN MOVING AWAY FROM THE NORTH CAROLINA COAST** NEW INFORMATION --------------- * CHANGES TO WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - All watches and warnings have been canceled * CURRENT WATCHES AND WARNINGS: - None * STORM INFORMATION: - About 390 miles east-southeast of Ocean City MD or about 440 miles east of Norfolk VA - 36.8N 68.2W - Storm Intensity 100 mph - Movement Northeast or 50 degrees at 20 mph SITUATION OVERVIEW ------------------ Hurricane Erin, currently about 420 miles ENE of Cape Hatteras, NC, continues to move northeast away from the coast. Erin will continue to move northeastward with the center of the storm tracking well offshore of the Mid-Atlantic coast. The tropical storm force wind threat has come to an end for the local area with Erin moving further away. Erin will continue to bring high surf, significant dune and beach erosion and moderate to locally major tidal flooding to the area. Seas of 12 to 18 feet over the coastal waters remain possible this evening into tonight which will allow for significant beach and dune erosion for the coast especially around the times of high tide. In addition, moderate to locally major coastal flooding is expected during the high tide cycle this evening and tonight with inundation of 1 to 3 feet above normally high ground. A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect for the Atlantic coast from Corolla, NC to Ocean City, MD, areas adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay from Windmill Point south, tidal portions of the James, York, and Rappahannock Rivers as well as adjacent estuaries. A Coastal Flood Warning is also in effect for areas adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay north of Windmill Point through the bay side of the lower Maryland Eastern Shore, and the southern shore of the Potomac River, as well as adjacent estuaries. POTENTIAL IMPACTS ----------------- * SURGE: A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect for areas along the Atlantic coast, Chesapeake Bay, and tidal rivers. * OTHER COASTAL HAZARDS: Along the Atlantic coast from Fenwick Island Delaware to Duck North Carolina, expect waves to build to 12 to 18 ft today. These large waves combined with increased water levels will likely allow for significant beach and dune erosion. There is a high risk of rip currents along the shoreline through Friday, and a high risk of rip currents will likely continue into the weekend. * WIND: Little to no additional impacts are anticipated at this time. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS ---------------------------------- * EVACUATIONS: Follow the advice of local officials. * OTHER PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION: If you are prone to coastal flooding or ocean overwash be prepared for the possibility of a quick rise in water levels. Closely monitor weather.gov, NOAA Weather Radio and local news outlets for official storm information.
