Strong rains should start with the storm which should become a major category 3 storm during the weekend.
Hurricane Erin formed in the Atlantic Ocean as the Caribbean of the Northeast approach approaches, while the forecasters warn against possible floods and landslides in Puerto Rico and in the Virgin Islands.
The storm should remain on open waters, although tropical storm watches have been issued for Anguilla and Barbuda, St Martin and St Barts, Saba and St Eustatius and St Maarten.
Strong rains were to start late Friday in Antigua and Barbuda, in the American and British Virgin Islands, and in Puerto Rico from the South and the East. Up to 10 cm (four inches) are expected, with isolated totals up to 15 cm (six inches), according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
The forecasters also warned of dangerous swells.
The storm was located about 835 km (520 miles) east of the northern islands in the wind. He had maximum sustained winds of 110 km / h (70 MPH) and moved to the west-northwest at 28 km / h (17 MPH).
Erin should become a major 3-late category storm this weekend.
The Hurricane Center noted that “there is still uncertainty about the impacts that Erin could bring to the parts of the Bahamas, the east coast of the United States and the long-range Bermuda.”
Fifth named Storm
Dangerous surf and tear currents should affect the American east coast next week, with waves reaching up to five meters (16.4 feet) along certain parts of the North Carolina coast which could cause the beach erosion, according to Accuweather.
“Erin should explode into a powerful category 4 hurricane while it moves through very hot waters in the open Atlantic.
Erin is the fifth named Storm of the Atlantic Hurricane season, which takes place from June 1 to November 30.
This year’s season should be unusually occupied and potentially perilous again. The forecast provides six to 10 hurricanes, with three to five reaching a major status with winds of more than 177 km / h (110 MPH).
