Coastal flood and beach erosion are also possible this week as Hurricane Erin passes far off the Jersey Shore.

The storm will remain a major hurricane through the middle of the week, according to the National Hurricane Center.

After exploding in strength at a historic rate this weekend, Hurricane Erin is now a sprawling Category 4 storm churning in the Atlantic. The storm’s enormous footprint is becoming the biggest concern as it threatens to drive life-threatening rip currents and towering waves toward the eastern US coastline and Bermuda.

Rip currents and high surf are expected along Massachusetts' coast, and particularly at its south-facing beaches.
