There was cautious relief Wednesday as the latest updates from the National Hurricane Center showed a clearer picture of the path Tropical Storm Erin is expected to take over the next few days.
By Friday, the storm is expected to intensify into the Atlantic season’s first hurricane of the year and to pass north of the Caribbean Islands this weekend. But the models forecasters use to predict where a storm goes are starting to suggest it is likely to curve away from the East Coast of the United States early next week.
Forecasters remain cautious that the storm’s trajectory could still change.
No warning or watches had been issued as of Wednesday afternoon, but swells, which can produce dangerous rip currents, are expected to affect Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands by the weekend.
Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) said they expect it to be an above-average Atlantic hurricane season, with up to 18 total named storms by the time it ends in November. A typical season has 14 named storms.
The Trump administration has slashed the number of employees at many of the agencies traditionally responsible for planning for and responding to natural disasters, including NOAA, the National Weather Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency. So far, it is unclear how those cuts might affect the accuracy of forecasts. The weather service may begin hiring again soon.
Hurricane Old School Prep and Advice
1. Secure Your Shelter
• Reinforce windows with storm shutters or plywood.
• Check roof integrity—loose tiles or panels can become dangerous projectiles.
• Clear gutters and drains to prevent flooding.
2. Stock Up Early
• Water: At least one gallon per person per day for 3–7 days. Get those 55 gallon drums set to collect water from roof drain.
• Non-perishable food: Canned goods, dry snacks, and baby formula if needed.
• Medications: Refill prescriptions and keep a first-aid kit handy.
• Batteries, flashlights, and a solar or crank-powered radio.
3. Protect Important Documents
• Store IDs, insurance papers, and property deeds in waterproof containers.
