Tropical Storm Erin continues to gain strength in the eastern Atlantic and is forecast to become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season within days.
The storm, which formed earlier this week, is currently packing winds of up to 45 miles per hour and is moving at a swift pace of 20 to 27 miles per hour. Meteorologists say Erin is on a steady path westward but is expected to begin curving northward, sparing the U.S. mainland and much of the Caribbean from a direct hit.
However, residents in the Northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico are being warned to brace for strong gusts, dangerous surf, and heavy rainfall as the outer bands of the storm pass nearby.
Officials are urging people across the region to remain vigilant and monitor all updates from the Meteorological Service and disaster preparedness authorities.
Tragically, the storm has already claimed six lives in the Cape Verde Islands, including four children, after severe weather battered the area.
Erin is expected to strengthen into a Category 1 hurricane by Thursday or Friday, and forecasters say it could potentially reach major hurricane status (Category 3 or higher) over the weekend.
