Digest more
Hurricane Erin could 'at least double or triple in size' next week and the track has shifted south, but remains likely to turn away from the East Coast.
U.S. shores are unlikely to see a direct hit, but a strong offshore hurricane can produce massive and dangerous waves well away from its center.
Erin, the first hurricane of the season, is now a powerful Category 5 hurricane. Here's where it could head in the week ahead.
The storm will remain a major hurricane through the middle of the week, according to the National Hurricane Center.
