Hurricane Erin Becomes First Atlantic Hurricane of 2025 and Poised for Major Strength
Hurricane Erin is forecast to become a major Category 3 storm by the weekend, bringing heavy rains and flash flooding risks to Caribbean islands, forecasters said.
- On August 15, 2025, Tropical Storm Erin became the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season with 75 mph winds, about 460 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands.
- Riding the Bermuda High, Erin’s track bends northwest before curving north, influenced by the high-pressure system over the Atlantic and a Gulf high-pressure system, forecasters say.
- Meanwhile, the National Hurricane Center advises Erin could become a hurricane by Friday afternoon, Aug. 15, with 50 mph winds about 860 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
- This weekend, forecasters warn, heavy rains could start late Friday in Antigua and Barbuda, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico.
- Looking ahead, the National Hurricane Center noted uncertainty about Erin’s impacts on the Bahamas, U.S. East Coast and Bermuda amid forecasts of dangerous surf and rip currents next week.
