Hurricane Erin, a Category 1 storm, is expected to intensify and affect the East Coast with high surf and flooding.

Hurricane Erin, the first of the 2025 Atlantic season, has strengthened into a Category 1 hurricane and is expected to reach Category 4 strength by Sunday. It's currently moving west-northwest and will pass north of the Leeward Islands, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico, bringing rough surf and dangerous rip currents. While no direct landfall on the U.S. mainland is predicted, the storm may impact the East Coast with high surf and coastal flooding. The National Hurricane Center forecasts above-average tropical activity for the season, with more storms expected.
