Tropical Storm Erin will likely start to strengthen Aug. 13 and become the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2025 season late Aug. 14 or Aug. 15, according to the National Hurricane Center.

Tropical Storm Erin formed Monday and is expected to become a major hurricane as it moves across the Atlantic Ocean, according to the National Hurricane Center, though the potential risks to the U.S. remain unclear.

The National Hurricane Center expects tropical Storm Erin - which is powering across the eastern Atlantic Ocean - to intensify, potentially becoming a major hurricane as early as this weekend
