Tropical Storm Erin formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Monday, forecasters said. The storm could strengthen to become the Atlantic's first hurricane of the season.

Erin has formed in the eastern Atlantic and is forecast to be the first hurricane and first major hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season. Erin will be a long-track storm and will eye the United States next week. Invest 97L so far has a medium chance of developing into a named storm next week, National Hurricane Center forecasters said.

Most forecasts agree that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season's fifth named storm, which formed this morning, is unlikely to hit Texas.
