India, Aug. 12 -- Tropical Storm Erin has formed out in the Atlantic, and weather experts say it could be the first hurricane of the 2025 season. The storm was named on Monday, Aug. 11, with top winds near 45 mph, according to the National Hurricane Center, reported People. It is moving west about 20 mph right now, and forecasters think it will keep that track for the next few days while slowly getting stronger.

If it keeps building, Erin could be just north of the Caribbean by the weekend. Some models show it may turn into a major hurricane within five days. That is pretty quick for a system that only formed this week. Erin is already the fifth named storm since the season started on June 1. The official season runs until Nov. 30.
