Hurricane Erin on Sunday dropped in intensity overnight, but is expected to regain strength as its path shifts, prompting new warnings and watches to be issued by the Bahamas while the National Hurricane Center kept track of two other Atlantic systems.

Hurricane Erin, the first Atlantic hurricane of 2025, has weakened to a Category 3 but remains a major threat. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands, while the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico are experiencing heavy rains and gusty winds.

While the threat of any direct impact to the East Coast and Bahamas is easing, NHC said swells generated by Erin would likely lead to life-threatening surf and rip currents along the East Coast beaches next week.

A tropical disturbance that will move into the Gulf this week is being monitored for the potential for development by the National Hurricane Center.
