Erin, the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year, became post-tropical on Friday afternoon, the National Hurricane Center said.
Risk of rip currents in South Florida remains high through Saturday.
As Hurricane Erin hovered over the Atlantic Ocean, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season was spotted from above by cameras on the ISS.
Swells generated by Erin will affect the Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada during the next several days. These rough ocean conditions are expected to cause life-threatening surf and rip currents.
Erin is the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season.
NEXT Weather meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez has the latest tracking and forecast of Hurricane Erin.
Hurricane Erin underwent rapid intensification to become a Category 5 storm in just hours. It has since weakened to a Category 4 status.
NEXT Weather meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez says intensification is expected as Erin moves toward warmer ocean temperatures over the next several days.
NEXT Weather meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez says Erin is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane on Friday morning.
NEXT Weather meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez says on Thursday morning Erin was moving westward at 17 mph with sustained winds of 50 mph. It is expected to start a west-northwestward movement on Thursday night.
NEXT Weather meteorologist Lissette Gonzalez says the storm will move over warmer water the next few days which will allow it to become the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, likely by Friday.
Hurricanes are the most powerful storms on Earth, but are often steered around the globe by just a gentle breeze.
CBS News Miami meteorologist Shane Hinton analyzes Tropical Storm Erin's projected path and whether it will impact South Florida.
It has been given a 90% chance for development over the next two to seven days by the National Hurricane Center.
Two months into the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, NOAA forecasters updated their prediction for how many tropical storms and hurricanes to expect.
The 2025 list of hurricane and tropical storm names was last used in 2019. This Atlantic hurricane season is expected to have an above-normal number of storms.
As the Atlantic Ocean stirs with a tropical storm and two disturbances, including one off Northeast Florida, the university's researchers maintained that the season's activity will be slightly above normal.
Installing storm shutters remains a critical step to safeguard homes from powerful winds and flying debris, officials say.
The National Hurricane Center says environmental conditions appear favorable for gradual development of both systems.
Here's what you need to know about choosing the right generator and how to avoid dangerous mistakes.
A new forecast from researchers at Colorado State University predicts the 2025 hurricane season will be busier than an average year.
Research shows that human-caused climate change is warming ocean waters, which is fueling stronger and more intense hurricanes.
Tropical depression Chantal brought flooding to North Carolina and spurred water rescues before moving over Virginia overnight Monday.
The satellite program has historically been a key source of weather forecasting data for NOAA.
