Hurricane Erin, the first of the 2025 Atlantic season, is forecast to become a major storm this weekend, bringing heavy rain, flooding risk, and dangerous surf to parts of the Caribbean and western Atlantic.

Tropical Storm Erin is approaching Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, bringing heavy rains that could cause flooding and landslides

The National Hurricane Center continues to track the path of Tropical Storm Erin as it heads west, but the storm's potential impact on the Caribbean remains uncertain.

The NHC forecast advisory predicts Erin will continue westward today before bending west‑northwest tonight and through the weekend as a weakness develops in the subtropical ridge. Forecast positions show the storm moving from 16.

A new system has emerged in the eastern tropical Atlantic, heading westward toward the Leeward Islands as Hurricane Erin continues to spin.

Residents of the northern Leeward Islands are monitoring the passage of Tropical Storm Erin, which formed Monday west of the Cabo Verde Islands and could strengthen to become the Atlantic’s first hurricane of the 2025 season.
