We continue to monitor Erin, which will become a hurricane today. It is located around 600 miles east of the Leeward Islands.
The forecast track is to the northwest, but it will curve more northward as it stays east of the Bahamas. It is expected to curve to the northeast, tracking between the East Coast and Bermuda. It should stay far enough offshore to keep most impacts away from the Mid-Atlantic coast. However, high waves and strong rip current will be possible mid and late week.
More information can be found in the CBS 6 Hurricane Tracker.
A disturbance is located off the Mexico coast, just south of the Texas border. This shows a medium chance of development as it tracks northwestward into southern Texas and northeast Mexico. If it becomes a tropical storm, it will be named Fernand.
