Erin Doesn’t Need To Make Landfall To Impact US

Erin became the first Atlantic major hurricane of the season on Friday before explosively intensifying into a Category 5 storm within 24 hours, and the storm will remain a major hurricane through the weekend.

The storm is traveling westward to the north of the Greater Antilles, where it will have some impacts as it brushes the northeast Caribbean through the weekend.

You can track it all with the maps below, including forecasts from the National Hurricane Center. And if you're seeking a more in-depth look at Erin, click here.
