This weekend, the path of Erin is expected to pass north of the northern Leeward Islands, the NHC says.

Impacts of the hurricane have already been felt throughout the Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico but they are not expecting a direct hit.

The Caribbean Islands should see about 2–4 inches through Sunday and totals could reach up to six inches.

As for where the storm is likely headed, models are in agreement that Erin will turn north this weekend into early next week, staying well east of the U.S.

Sorry... I didn’t realize you only posted for systems threatening the mainland. I thought I remembered notes on most named storms.

Just glad to hear you’re still tuned in. I’ve always followed your threads closely, even though we live in Kentucky. We’re actively trying to move to the north side of Tampa. I’ll be paying even more attention in the future.

Are you still near League City in Texas? Or have I misremembered that too?

When you move to the Tampa Bay area, we’ll be neighbors.

Must be mis-remembered.

I retired from Texas Instuments in Houston 30 years ago and have lived in Mobile, Alabama ever since.
