The storm reached Bermuda early Saturday morning as a Category 1 storm and moved steadily north after weakening over land. It had previously pummeled Puerto Rico with heavy downpours and wind gusts that heavily impacted the island’s power. The storm is set to pass near Newfoundland—of the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador—on Monday evening, which could bring coastal flooding and is expected to bring strong winds and rain. Ernesto was the third hurricane of the Atlantic hurricane season. And while the storm is now [forecast](https://www.nhc.noaa.gov/graphics%5Fat5.shtml?start#contents) to stay offshore the U.S. East Coast throughout the next few days, it has caused surf and [rip currents](https://time.com/6991403/how-to-stay-safe-during-a-rip-current/) along East Coast beaches.

Further north, the [New York City Parks Department announced that all beaches](https://www.nycgovparks.org/news/press-releases?id=22180) in Brooklyn, Queens, and Jacob Riis Beach would be closed to swimming over the weekend, citing National Weather Service predictions of a dangerous rip current threat and ocean swells.
