Tropical Storm Erin has formed near the Cabo Verde Islands Monday morning. The track takes the storm west through the week. Eventually a hurricane is expected by the end of the week likely north of the Caribbean Islands.

We have more than a week to watch it as it crosses the Atlantic, but the trends have been encouraging. Plenty of time to watch, but right now A Gulf storm seems unlikely.
