Hurricane Erin now a Category 4 storm
Digest more
Erin, the first hurricane of the season, is now forecast to become a Category 4 by Sunday. Here's where it could head in the week ahead.
Because Erin is one week away, meteorologists in Bermuda and the U.S. East Coast will be watching the storm closely, as any deviation east or west could lead to significant impacts. While Erin isn’t expected to directly impact the U.S., the storm is forecast to bring dangerous rip currents to the East Coast from about Aug. 21 to Aug. 27.
