Little change
However, Erin was still generating strong waves along the upper East Coast and forecasters said it could touch southern coastal areas of Newfoundland later in the week -- but only as a further weakened extra-tropical storm.
Erin was downgraded overnight from a Category 2 to a Category 1 storm, on a scale of one to five
It was never considered a threat to the North East and it weakened HOURS before the attacks and turned. The weather system that gave NYC those beautiful blue skies we saw that day was what she ran into.
