Storm tracker: Follow Hurricane Erin’s path, wind speeds and forecast
Erin is one of the largest, fastest-growing hurricanes in recorded history. It is forecast to bring heavy rains to Puerto Rico, parts of the Bahamas and other islands in the region.
Hurricane Erin, which reached hurricane-force winds Friday, grew to a Category 5 storm with sustained wind speeds of more than 157 mph Saturday.
The storm has since weakened and is bringing heavy rains to Puerto Rico, parts of the Bahamas and other islands in the region. It is forecast to bring these rains and “life-threatening surf and rip currents” to the East Coast over the next several days, according to the National Hurricane Center.
NBC News will be updating the hurricane’s projected path map with the latest forecast.
