Meteorologists are closely tracking the projected path and forecast of Hurricane Erin, which is the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year.

NOAA's GOES-19 satellite captured images of Hurricane Erin as it developed in the Atlantic and then rapidly strengthened into a Category 5 storm.

The first Atlantic hurricane of the season is forecast to bring heavy rain and life-threatening surf and rip currents to the U.S. East Coast this week.

Hurricane Erin could 'at least double or triple in size' next week and the track has shifted south, but remains likely to turn away from the East Coast.

Hurricane Erin formed early Friday, Aug. 15, marking the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season before exploding over the weekend.

Hurricane Erin dazzled forecasters over the weekend, putting on a spectacular show of strength rarely observed, becoming only the 43rd Atlantic-basin Category 5 hurricane on record and tying Camille in 1969 for the 4th earliest-forming Category 5 ever recorded.

NOAA’s Hurricane Hunters captured the dramatic moment their plane flew into the eye of Hurricane Erin, as the storm grew to a Category 5 on Saturday.

The Atlantic’s first hurricane of 2025 wasted no time making history. Hurricane Erin will be remembered as one of the fastest-strengthening Atlantic hurricanes on record, with perhaps the fastest intensification rate for any storm earlier than September 1, CNN reports.
