Tropical Storm Erin formed on Monday in the far eastern Atlantic and is forecast to reach major hurricane strength by this weekend, the National Hurricane Center said.

As temperatures continue to heat up this summer, hurricane season is heating up as well. It’s still the first half of the season, but we’re quickly approaching the peak and the Atlantic is starting to look the part.

Most forecasts agree that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season's fifth named storm, which could form as early as today, is unlikely to hit Texas.
