Hurricane Erin is entering the first stages of a post-tropical transition as it continues to move away from the U.S. East Coast.

Hurricane Erin will be hundreds of miles from the Massachusetts coast, but it could still cause problems at beaches.

Hurricane Erin has weakened to a Category 1 storm after lashing North Carolina's Outer Banks with rough waves and coastal flooding, and bringing a threat of dangerous waves and potentially deadly rip currents to the East Coast.
