Tropical Storm Ernesto churned away from Bermuda and headed further out in the northeastern Atlantic, but it still sent powerful swells toward the U.S. East Coast. Rip currents were associated with at least one death and prompted many rescues. The National Weather Service posted a coastal flood advisory and warned of a high risk for rip currents along the Atlantic Coast through Monday evening, saying they “can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water.” A warning extended from Florida to the Boston area and portions of Maine. Officials in Manasquan Inlet in New Jersey said a fisherman was washed off the north jetty Saturday but was quickly rescued.
