WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Erin is beginning to race northeastward in Northern Atlantic waters, but is still bringing coastal impacts for the U.S. Eastern Seaboard, Bermuda and Nova Scotia.
As of the National Hurricane Center's 5 p.m. advisory on Friday, Erin is now post-tropical as it has reached cooler waters. It still remains a powerful low with large gale/tropical storm-force winds surrounding it.
There are two other tropical disturbances to watch for potential development in the Atlantic.
One of them has a higher chance of developing and is closest to the Eastern Caribbean. This tropical disturbance will develop into a tropical depression this weekend and will turn towards the north, keeping it over open waters. Regardless, showers and storms are expected to impact the Leeward Islands.

The other area has a low chance of developing in the central tropical Atlantic. A short-lived depression could form in the next day or so, but it is expected to get into a less conducive environment over the weekend.
