Hurricane Erin rapidly strengthened into a Category 4 storm less than 24 hours after being named the first hurricane of the Atlantic season.
Erin is the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year, and meteorologists are closely tracking its path and forecast.
Tropical Storm Erin is continuing its westward push through the Atlantic and should become a hurricane the afternoon of Aug. 15, according to the National Hurricane Center.
