Early Monday, the storm strengthened into a Category 4 hurricane, packing maximum sustained winds of 130 mph as it approached the southeastern Bahamas, the NHC reported.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking an area of interest in the central Atlantic for possible development. This is alongside Hurricane Erin, which is anticipated to remain offshore from the U.S.

Hurricane Erin on Sunday dropped in intensity overnight, but is expected to regain strength as its path shifts, prompting new warnings and watches to be issued by the Bahamas while the National Hurricane Center kept track of two other Atlantic systems.

Hurricane Erin, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, has weakened to a Category 3 but remains a major threat. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands, while the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are experiencing heavy rains and gusty winds.

A tropical disturbance that will move into the Gulf this week is being monitored for the potential for development by the National Hurricane Center.
