SUMMARY: Hurricane Erin has rapidly intensified to a Category 5 storm with winds of 160 mph and pressure at 917 millibars, moving west at 17 mph north of the Leeward Islands. The National Hurricane Center reports it will likely miss the Caribbean islands but cause heavy rain and high surf across the region. Hurricane hunters’ data confirmed the upgrade. Erin is expected to weaken to Category 4 near Florida, then move northeast over the Atlantic, possibly affecting Bermuda. Models agree it will stay over open water, posing minimal risk to the U.S. mainland as the peak hurricane season approaches in early September.
