The first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, Hurricane Erin, has already formed and reached Category 5 strength around mid-August 2025. Erin is forecast to become a major hurricane and has been moving westward toward the Leeward Islands and Puerto Rico. While it is turning northwest and then north, it is expected to stay off the U.S. East Coast but still bring heavy rain, strong winds, and surf conditions to nearby areas. The exact timing of its closest impact depends on the location, but it was intensifying through mid- August and expected to affect the Caribbean and potentially approach near the U.S. East Coast around the next days after mid-August.
Additionally, there's a tropical disturbance expected to make landfall near the Texas-Mexico border around late August or early September (Friday or Saturday from August 26 report), which could bring tropical downpours and gusty winds to Southeast Texas but is not confirmed as a hurricane at this time.
For the most accurate and up-to-date timing on exactly when a hurricane will hit specific locations, it is essential to track the latest forecasts from the National Hurricane Center or local weather authorities regularly, as hurricane paths can shift. Summary:
- Hurricane Erin: Major hurricane active mid-August 2025, affecting Caribbean and near U.S. East Coast soon after August 15.
- Tropical disturbance near Gulf of Mexico: Potential landfall late August/early September on Texas-Mexico border.
- Ongoing hurricane monitoring crucial for exact timing.
