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.
Hurricane Erin has weakened slightly overnight but remains a very strong storm with winds well over 120 mph, making it still a major hurricane. The track remains mostly unchanged. It will start making that northern turn in the next 24 hours.
