Hurricane Erin: First Atlantic Storm of 2025 with Path and Impact Forecasts

Hurricane Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, has formed as a Category 1 storm and is expected to pass near the Leeward Islands, potentially strengthening to a major hurricane. While most models keep it offshore, large waves and rip currents are anticipated along the U.S. East Coast, especially from North Carolina to Virginia, posing risks of erosion and dangerous surf. Tropical storm watches are in effect for some Caribbean islands, and the storm's progression is being closely monitored.
