Issued at 200 AM AST Sun Aug 17 2025 000 WTNT35 KNHC 170531 TCPAT5 BULLETIN Hurricane Erin Intermediate Advisory Number 23A NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052025 200 AM AST Sun Aug 17 2025 ...ERIN'S OUTER RAINBANDS PRODUCING GUSTY WINDS AND HEAVY RAINS ACROSS THE VIRGIN ISLANDS AND PUERTO RICO... SUMMARY OF 200 AM AST...0600 UTC...INFORMATION ---------------------------------------------- LOCATION...20.4N 66.1W ABOUT 140 MI...220 KM N OF SAN JUAN PUERTO RICO ABOUT 330 MI...535 KM ESE OF GRAND TURK ISLAND MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...125 MPH...205 KM/H PRESENT MOVEMENT...WNW OR 290 DEGREES AT 14 MPH...22 KM/H MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...940 MB...27.76 INCHES WATCHES AND WARNINGS -------------------- CHANGES WITH THIS ADVISORY: None. SUMMARY OF WATCHES AND WARNINGS IN EFFECT: A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for... * Turks and Caicos Islands A Tropical Storm Watch means that tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, in this case in the next 24 hours. Interests elsewhere in the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, and the southeast and central Bahamas should monitor the progress of Erin. For storm information specific to your area, please monitor products issued by your national meteorological service. DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK ---------------------- At 200 AM AST (0600 UTC), the center of Hurricane Erin was located near latitude 20.4 North, longitude 66.1 West. Erin is moving toward the west-northwest near 14 mph (22 km/h). This motion with a decrease in forward speed is expected today, followed by a turn to the north on Monday and Tuesday. On the forecast track, the core of Erin is expected to pass to the east of the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas tonight and Monday. Maximum sustained winds are near 125 mph (205 km/h) with higher gusts. Erin is a category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Fluctuations in intensity are expected over the next day or two due to inner-core structural changes. Erin is becoming a larger system. Hurricane-force winds extend outward up to 25 miles (35 km) from the center and tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 205 miles (335 km). The minimum central pressure based on data from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters is 940 mb (27.76 inches). HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND ---------------------- Key messages for Erin can be found in the Tropical Cyclone Discussion under AWIPS header MIATCDAT5 and WMO header WTNT45 KNHC. RAINFALL: The outer bands of Erin will continue to produce areas of heavy rainfall today across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches, with isolated totals of 8 inches, are expected. Locally considerable flash and urban flooding, along with landslides or mudslides, are possible. For a complete depiction of forecast rainfall and flash flooding associated with Erin, please see the National Weather Service Storm Total Rainfall Graphic, available at hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?rainqpf WIND: Tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area in the Turks and Caicos Islands beginning tonight. Squalls with wind gusts to tropical storm force could occur over portions of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico today and across the southeast and central Bahamas tonight through Tuesday. SURF: Swells generated by Erin will continue to affect portions of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico, Hispaniola, and the Turks and Caicos Islands during the next couple of days. These swells will spread to the Bahamas, Bermuda, the east coast of the United States, and Atlantic Canada during the early and middle portions of the week. These rough ocean conditions will likely cause life-threatening surf and rip currents. Please consult products from your local weather forecast office for more information. A depiction of rip current risk for the United States can be found at: hurricanes.gov/graphics_at5.shtml?ripCurrents NEXT ADVISORY ------------- Next complete advisory at 500 AM AST. $$ Forecaster Cangialosi Source: Hurricane Erin Public Advisory Number 23a

Hurricane Erin Forecast Discussion Number 23
Webmaster
12 hours ago
Issued at 1100 PM AST Sat Aug 16 2025 239 WTNT45 KNHC 170259 TCDAT5 Hurricane Erin Discussion Number 23 NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052025 1100 PM AST Sat Aug 16 2025 After rapidly intensifying for the first part of the day, Erin now appears to be in the middle stages of an eyewall replacement cycle (ERC). Both the NOAA and Air Force Reserve reconnaissance have indicated concentric eyewalls on their missions this evening, and in response, the inner eyewall is starting to become more degraded with decreasing winds. With that said, there is not an especially well defined secondary wind maximum quite yet, primarily only observed in the NOAA-P3 Tail Doppler Radar data in the northeastern quadrant. The peak flight level winds reported by the NOAA and Air Force aircraft were both 130 kt at 700 mb. The initial intensity is therefore reduced to 120 kt for this advisory, and this could be generous. The inner eyewall of Erin has been wobbling around, likely due to some trochoidal motion as it interacts with the building secondary wind maximum, but the longer-term motion is around 290/12 kt. Erin has moved left of the NHC forecast track over the past day, and I suspect some of this left-of expected motion could be due to the small inner-core size of the hurricane, which was poorly resolved by all of the hurricane-regional forecast models. However, as the overall wind field of Erin grows in size, a more consistent west-northwestward motion is expected to resume tonight and persist over the next 12-24 hours. After that time, a series of shortwave troughs will move offshore of Atlantic Canada, helping to reinforce a longwave trough over the north-central portion of the Atlantic. This should create a growing weakness to the north of Erin, ultimately allowing the large hurricane to turn northward and then northeastward by the end of the forecast period. The track guidance this cycle made another westward adjustment, and the NHC track forecast was nudged in that direction. The current track remains to the east of both the HCCA and ECMWF track aids, so it would not be surprising to see some additional leftward adjustments in subsequent forecast cycles. The future intensity is probably the most challenging aspect of Erin's forecast. Erin's maximum sustained winds have been decreasing as a secondary eyewall gradually becomes better defined. A little more weakening could occur in the short term as these structural changes occur. However, none of the hurricane-regional models appears to have a good handle on Erin's current structure (they all have a much broader core). Given that the vertical wind shear is currently low, and the hurricane is well embedded in a moist environment, this ERC is expected to complete without much issue, though it will likely take a bit of time for the hurricane's maximum sustained winds to recover as its wind field broadens. Thus, the NHC intensity forecast shows some reintensification in the 24 h period after this ERC completes. Afterwards, it wouldn't be surprising to see another cycle begin, and at 36-48 h northwesterly shear is still anticipated to increase some. Their combination should begin a weakening trend with Erin as it continues to grow in size. The NHC intensity forecast is a little lower than the previous advisory, primarily due to the weaker initial intensity, but is still roughly in line with the intensity consensus aids. A recent scatterometer pass indicates that Erin's outer-core is growing in size, and the models remain in strong agreement that the system will grow further the next several days. In fact, by the middle of next week, Erin is forecast to at least double or triple in size, which will result in rough ocean conditions over the western Atlantic. KEY MESSAGES: 1. Heavy rainfall at times through Sunday across the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico may lead to locally considerable flash and urban flooding, along with landslides or mudslides. 2. Tropical-storm conditions are possible in the Turks and Caicos Islands during the next 48 h, where a Tropical Storm Watch is in effect. Gusts to tropical storm force in Erin's outer rainbands are likely in portions of the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico through Sunday. Tropical-storm force wind gusts are possible in the Southeast Bahamas beginning late Sunday. 3. Erin is expected to produce life-threatening surf and rip currents along the beaches of the Bahamas, much of the east coast of the U.S., and Atlantic Canada next week. 4. Interests in Bermuda should continue to monitor the progress of Erin since there is a risk of strong winds, heavy rainfall, and high surf by the middle part of next week.
