As of August 22nd, 2025, Hurricane Erin continues to accelerate out to sea, but the storm's indirect impacts will persist at Maryland's ocean beaches and along the Chesapeake Bay. A Coastal Flood Warning is in effect for Anne Arundel County through Saturday morning, with the potential for moderate coastal flooding during high tide cycles. Additionally, a Coastal Flood Advisory is in place for other counties surrounding the Chesapeake Bay, where minor coastal flooding is expected.
The Maryland coast is also under a High Surf Advisory through this evening, with extremely dangerous rip currents posing a high risk of life-threatening conditions. Some beaches have been closed for swimming, but a gradual reopening is expected over the weekend as Erin moves further out to sea.
Despite the ongoing impacts from Erin, the weather in Maryland is set to improve significantly. A stretch of sunny, comfortable, and quiet weather is forecast to return today through most of the weekend. Temperatures will be in the lower 80s, with low humidity and a gentle northeast breeze. The upcoming weekend looks mainly dry and warm, providing an excellent opportunity for outdoor activities.
