After weakening a bit, Erin continues to strengthen and grow. A tropical wave could become the next depression or storm.

Additional strengthening is expected as the storm is forecast to “remain a large and dangerous major hurricane through the middle of this week,” the National Hurricane Center said.

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.

Hurricane Erin lashes Bahamas and Turks and Caicos with winds, rain, and flooding as forecasters track a new Atlantic tropical threat.

Major cruise lines are rerouting ships away from Hurricane Erin, which regained power after weakening over the weekend.

Major Hurricane Erin is a very large hurricane passing just east of the Turks and Caicos and southeast Bahamas Monday and Tuesday. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the Turks and Caicos and parts of the Bahamas.
