Tropical Storm Erin formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Monday, forecasters said. The storm could strengthen to become the Atlantic's first hurricane of the season.

Tropical Storm Erin is moving quickly and forecast to become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season by the "later this week," the National Hurricane Center said Monday.

Most forecasts agree that the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season's fifth named storm, which could form as early as today, is unlikely to hit Texas.
