Tropical Storm Erin Forms in the Atlantic, Poised to Become First Major Hurricane of the Season
Tropical Storm Erin has formed in the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to strengthen rapidly, potentially becoming the first hurricane of the Atlantic season. The National Hurricane Center has outlined that Erin may develop into a major hurricane as it moves westward across the ocean, with forecasts indicating it will not make landfall in the United States. As this system continues to gain strength, forecasters are also monitoring another disturbance, Invest 97L, which has a significant chance of developing into another tropical depression soon.
