Erin develops into a Category 5 hurricane
Fox News ^ | August 16, 2025 | oey Swanson

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.

But people on the East Coast of Florida should be aware of dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents

The climate folks are breathless at the thought of a Cat 5.

Every look at the summaries for all these hurricanes. It was amusing...for example...highest winds Cat 4 - lasted 3 minutes...reduced to 2 in 16 minutes.

We have to travel to the East coast next week, so I hope it leaves us alone.

Erin is a pretty well developed storm. 160 mph SUSTAINED winds. That’s Cat 5. 915 MB pressure is pretty darned stong too.

She’s a beauty. Great way to kick of the real hurricane season.

Avoid Bermuda, and you should be fine.

Only 2 possible reasons there are hurricanes during hurricane season: global warming and a Republican president.

Katrina was 920 MB when it hit here in South Louisiana.

May 22, 2025 — Forecasters within NOAA’s National Weather Service predict above-normal hurricane activity in the Atlantic basin this year.

NOAA’s outlook for the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, which goes from June 1 to November 30, predicts a 30% chance of a near-normal season, a 60% chance of an above-normal season, and a 10% chance of a below-normal season.

The agency is forecasting a range of 13 to 19 total named storms (winds of 39 mph or higher). Of those, 6-10 are forecast to become hurricanes (winds of 74 mph or higher), including 3-5 major hurricanes (category 3, 4 or 5; with winds of 111 mph or higher). NOAA has a 70% confidence in these ranges.

"...above normal"??? Once again they're getting it wrong. This is mid August of a season that starts in June and this is the first hurricane.

Unfortunately a lack of hurricane activity in June just means that come August and September, the water will be even warmer.
