Hurricane Erin has weakened to a category 3 storm after it brought heavy rains and tropical-storm force winds to several islands in the Atlantic, including the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
Erin is the first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, and reached Category 5 status on Saturday with maximum sustained winds of 160 mph.
While Erin is not expected to have a direct impact to the eastern coast of the United States, states like North Carolina are on alert do to a possible flooding risk that could affect the highways that connect North Carolina to the Outer Banks.
LiveNOW from FOX’s Josh Breslow spoke with FOX Weather’s Michael Estime to discuss Erin’s path and what storms are on the radar next.
