Hurricane Erin is heading for the United States and so, too, could some massive waves, reaching more than 100 feet in height. The major storm, which is currently a Category 3 hurricane, is weakening as it approaches the United States. Still, it could have serious impact on much of the East Coast. ...

Hurricane Erin was a Category 4 storm Monday morning and is expected to retain major hurricane status through the middle of the week.

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

Hurricane Erin continues to track along the Atlantic Coast this week. It has encountered some wind shear and dry air along its northwest flank, and that has impacted the structure of the storm. The storm has also slowed down since the weekend.

“Erin is a large hurricane,” forecasters said, noting that hurricane-force winds extend up to 80 miles from the storm’s center, with tropical-storm-force winds reaching up to 205 miles.

Hurricane Erin is forecast to "substantially grow in size" as it moves across the western Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center.
