Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to strengthen into the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season by Wednesday and could reach Category 3 strength by the weekend.
No Current U.S. Threat
As of now, Erin is not expected to directly impact the United States. Long-range models show the storm tracking between Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast from Aug. 19 to Aug. 21.
Close Monitoring in Bermuda and East Coast
Because Erin’s path is still more than a week away, meteorologists are closely monitoring it. Even slight shifts east or west could bring significant impacts to Bermuda or coastal areas.
Peak Hurricane Season Underway
The National Hurricane Center has predicted an above-normal Atlantic hurricane season. August, September, and October are typically the most active months, with the season ending Nov. 30.
