Erin is expected to become a hurricane Friday, Aug. 15 and a major hurricane by Sunday morning. What Florida can expect from the storm.

Although Hurricane Erin will remain hundreds of miles offshore, its impacts will still be felt along Florida’s coastline.

While it's looking very likely that Hurricane Erin will avoid landfall in Florida, the Sunshine State will likely still feel some effects - mainly in rougher coastal waters.

Palm Beach County shouldn't expect any effects from Hurricane Erin, which formed in the Atlantic on Aug. 15 and rapidly strengthened to a catastrophic Category 5 storm with 160 mph winds on Saturday, Aug. 16, according to the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center.

Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic as it looks to swing north and away from the U.S. coastline. It is now a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 125 mph. This is the first hurricane of the 2025 season in the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center.
