The National Hurricane Center (NHC) is monitoring two areas to watch for tropical development behind Hurricane Erin as the Atlantic Ocean's Main Development Region roars to life.
Hurricane Erin has weakened into a category 2 hurricane after reaching category 4 strength yesterday. It is currently moving northwest as it sits just above the Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Erin developed in the eastern Atlantic, moving westward from the Cabo Verde Islands at about 20 mph (32 km/h). Infrared sensors on NOAA's GOES-19 satellite reveal colder cloud tops and deep convection near the center — signs of a strengthening system feeding on warm ocean waters.
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. — A tropical storm formed out in the Atlantic Ocean over the weekend. While it may result in some rough surf, the storm will not set a course for the U.S., according to AccuWeather.
