The August weather might seem ideal for a beach trip, but Hurricane Erin will bring widespread danger in coming days.

Erin has become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season. The quick-moving storm expected to become a strong Category 4 storm, with maximum sustained winds of 140 mph within the next 72 hours, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Erin develops in the Atlantic Ocean, sending large surf and dangerous conditions to the United States’ eastern seaboard. The latest 5 PM update shows that Erin remains minimal hurricane. Tomorrow will be partly sunny with the chance of showers and storms.
