Description
The National Hurricane Center is now watching three separate systems in the Atlantic, including Tropical Storm Erin: https://www.wtsp.com/article/weather/tropics/tropical-storm-erin-tropics-update-nhc-hurricane-season-atlantic/67-8ee79f46-6e2e-44cc-9fbd-706ca3c08504
Tropical Storm Erin developed Monday morning with maximum sustained winds of nearly 45 mph.
Erin is about 280 miles west-northwest of the Cabo Verde Islands as it moves closer to the area through Monday. It is expected to strengthen into the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic Hurricane season by midweek.
It will be near the Windward Islands by Friday, and forecast models show Erin strengthening into a major hurricane this weekend.
Forecast models are still in fairly good agreement that Erin will make a turn to the NNW throughout the weekend with a more northern trajectory into midweek next week.
Most models show Erin passing between Bermuda and the East Coast (closer to Bermuda) around midweek next week (Aug. 20)
This is a fizzling tropical wave in drier air. Conditions are not favorable for development and may slightly improve next week as it curves away from the US.
The National Hurricane Center is also now monitoring a new disturbance in the Atlantic, located a few hundred miles to the south-southeast of Nova Scotia, Canada.
The system is expected to move northward over cooler waters by the middle of the week, ending its chances of further tropical development.
