Hurricane Erin to Be The Start Of Hurricane Season

Have you guys heard of the new hurricane updates? Apparently this one is going to be a pretty big one to kick off the season…

As of today, Erin is packing 45 mph sustained winds and moving at about 20 mph across the central Atlantic. While still a tropical storm, forecasters are confident it will strengthen — and soon. Meteorologists expect Erin to reach hurricane status by Friday or Saturday(8/15 and 8/16), potentially becoming the first major hurricane of the 2025 season with winds topping 115 mph. That would make it a Category 3 storm.. This is a serious system even if it stays offshore.The storm is also expected to churn up dangerous rip currents and high surf along the U.S. East Coast — from the Carolinas all the way to Maine — even if it stays far out to sea.

The National Hurricane Center is also tracking a separate disturbance in the western Caribbean near the Yucatán Peninsula. While its development chances are low (10–20%), it could bring rain to eastern Mexico and parts of southern Texas later this week. Hurricane Erin may not make landfall, but it’s a reminder that the season is still fresh and storms can strengthen quickly and fast. 

For anyone in the tropical areas we hope you stay safe! Thanks for reading
