Erin Is Now The First Hurricane Of 2025

Erin became the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season late Friday morning.  Further strengthening is expected this weekend.

At 11 am Friday, Hurricane Erin was located about 460 miles east of the northern Leeward Islands.  Maximum sustained winds were 75 miles per hour, and Erin was moving west-northwest at 18 miles per hour.  Tropical storm watches remain for some of the Leeward Islands, and watches are possible later for the Virgin Islands and part of Puerto Rico.

Erin is forecast to turn to the northwest this weekend, keeping it east of the Bahamas.
