for the time being
Expresses that something applies for the present time, but will probably not stay that way forever. It describes a temporary state.
Die Straße bleibt vorerst für den Verkehr gesperrt.
The road will remain closed to traffic for the time being.
The word 'vorerst' is a combination of 'vor' (before/for) and 'erst' (first/only). It literally means something like 'for the moment first' and expresses that a situation is like this now, but will probably change.
Ich bleibe vorerst bei meinen Eltern, bis ich eine eigene Wohnung finde.
I am staying with my parents for the time being until I find my own apartment.
'Vorerst' can stand in position 1, followed by the verb. It can also stand inside the sentence, usually after the verb and the subject.
Vorerst bleibt alles beim Alten.
For the time being, everything remains as it was.
'Vorerst' is often used in official announcements or planning to describe a temporary state. It always implies that a final decision or solution is still pending.

'mal' in 'erst mal' and 'vorerst' can both express that something applies only for the moment. 'erst mal' is colloquial and can mean two things: first or for now. 'vorerst' clearly means a temporary state that may change later. It sounds a little more factual and fits well with decisions, plans, or rules. The risk of confusion comes from the fact that both sometimes mean 'for now'. If you want to emphasize that something is not final, 'vorerst' is more precise. If you want to say casually what you are doing next, 'erst mal' fits.
