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.

The center of a tropical disturbance that flared up in the Gulf began to move across land on Friday, bringing heavy rainfall to parts of northeastern Mexico and South Texas.

Rain chances in places like San Antonio and Austin are estimated at 20–40%, with most downpours being short-lived or intermittent.

Invest 98-L is producing disorganized showers and thunderstorms at about 75 miles off the coast of the southern Texas coastline. The system could become a short-lived tropical depression before moving inland. Regardless of development, locally heavy rainfall is possible over the next couple of days for Mexico and Texas.

(Reuters) -Hurricane Erin has developed into a dangerous Category 4 hurricane, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Saturday, adding that maximum sustained winds have increased to 130 mph (215 km/h) with higher gusts.

(Reuters) -Hurricane Erin, which is the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season and has developed into a dangerous Category 4 hurricane, has continued to rapidly intensify, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) said on Saturday.

The likely path of a disturbance, increasingly expected to develop into a cyclone, has encroached on Texas in recent days, National Hurricane Center (NHC) tracker maps show. Officials have warned that the disturbance presents the threat of heavy rain, flooding, and increased rip currents along portions of Texas' coastline.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) made their all-time best track forecasts in the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season, setting new records for track forecast accuracy at all forecast times.
