New York is bracing for Hurricane Erin — now expected to cause dangerous rip currents that’ll impact beaches, the city’s Emergency Management Department warned Monday.

The NWS also expects an increase in rip current activity along the New York City and Long Island beaches, along with minor coastal flooding during high tide across the south shores of Queens, Brooklyn and Long Island starting Wednesday and peaking Thursday. The NWS Monday rated the risk of rip current occurring “moderate,” the middle tier level.
