Tropical Storm Erin formed Monday morning in the eastern Atlantic Ocean and forecasters expect it to become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season this week.
Located west of Africa’s Cabo Verde islands as of Monday evening, Erin is the fifth named storm of the 2025 Atlantic season with sustained winds of 45 mph. It is expected to gradually strengthen as it moves westward in the coming days and could become a hurricane as soon as Wednesday evening.
The system is moving through a portion of the Atlantic known as the “main development region,” which stretches from Africa’s west coast to the Caribbean. It’s where many tropical systems come to life – fueled by very warm ocean water – as hurricane season enters its typically busiest weeks.
