WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — Hurricane Erin is beginning to race northeastward towards the 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 a.m. advisory, Erin has weakened to a Category 1 hurricane and will continue to downgrade as it reaches cooler sea surface temperatures through the weekend.
There are three 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 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.
