WPBF 25 First Warning meteorologists are tracking Erin, which became a Category 4 hurricane Saturday morning in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean. It formed into a tropical storm Monday in the eastern Atlantic Ocean.

Hurricane Erin is forecast to remain well offshore but still bring hazardous currents and possible erosion like previous offshore hurricanes before it.

Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic as it looks to swing north and away from the U.S. coastline. It is now a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph. This is the first hurricane of the 2025 season in the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center.

As the hurricane makes its way north well off the coast of the United States, the Space Coast will get rain and beach impact, meteorologists say.

Erin, the first hurricane of the season, exploded to a Category 5 hurricane Saturday, and despite fluctuations in intensity, the storm is remaining formidable this weekend. Here's where it could head in the week ahead.

Hurricane Erin became the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season on Friday, with sustained winds of 75 mph as it moves toward the Leeward Islands.
