National Hurricane Center Tropical Track:

HOUSTON – Erin is now a category 1 hurricane, the first of the 2025 hurricane season.

The National Hurricane Center is expecting Erin to strengthen as it pushes west. It will be a major category 3 hurricane by the end of the weekend.

The cone, officially called the “cone of uncertainty” outlines where the center is most likely to travel, widening over time because forecast uncertainty grows.

It’s important to remember the cone does not show storm size or impacts; dangerous winds, rain, and surge can happen well outside the cone.

Erin will bring heavy rainfall across the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and other islands along the northern Leeward chain. Some areas could pick up 2 to 4 inches of rain, with locally higher amounts from Friday night
