Hurricane Erin (updated 16 Aug 2025 @ 8pm AST/EDT)
⭕ Erin is currently a Category 4 hurricane.
⚠️ Erin is not expected to be a direct threat to Puerto Rico, though rainfall and rough seas are expected.
📍 Erin is currently located about 150 miles northeast of San Juan, moving westward at 15 MPH. Erin is expected to turn toward the west-north-west later Saturday night.
💨 Maximum sustained winds are 150 MPH. Hurricane-force winds (75+ MPH) extend outward from the center for 30 miles. Tropical-storm-force winds (39+ MPH) extend outward from the center for 185 miles.
💨 Squalls with wind gusts to tropical-storm force may occur over portions of Puerto Rico through Sunday.
🔀 On the current forecast track, Erin is expected to pass to the north-east of Puerto Rico as a "major hurricane" (meaning Category 3 or higher) this weekend.
⛈️ Rainfall totals of 2" to 4" (and up to 6" in some places) are expected, especially in the eastern and southern parts of Puerto Rico. Localize flooding, flash floods, landslides, and mudslides may be possible.
🌊 Swells generated by Erin may affect the southern, eastern, and north-eastern coasts of Puerto Rico, along with all of Culebra and Vieques, this weekend. These swells are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.
