Digest more
The former Hurricane Erin headed out to sea and became a non-tropical system on Friday, but the National Hurricane Center continued to track two other systems on Saturday in the Atlantic. One of them could become Tropical Storm Fernand soon. As of Saturday morning that system was located about 500 miles south-southeast of Bermuda.
Erin was a Category 1 hurricane in the North Atlantic Ocean Friday morning Eastern time, the National Hurricane Center said in its latest advisory. Erin is the fifth named storm to form in the Atlantic in 2025. Follow our coverage here.
The storm’s long-lasting and drastic impact caused significant damage to the North Fork Reservoir, which serves Asheville and other parts of Buncombe County. The boil water notice was lifted on Nov. 18, nearly two months after Helene’s Sept. 27 landing.
Strong winds and waves battered Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard and dangerous rip currents threatened from the Carolinas to New England as Hurricane Erin made its way farther out to sea. The storm was forecast to cause possible coastal flooding into the weekend along the East Coast but was also expected to gradually lose strength.
Hurricane Erin continues its northerly track and is set to deliver impacts to the beaches in New Jersey and Delaware.
