Tropics

Tropical Storm Erin is weak over the Central Atlantic but is expected to start strengthening soon while moving west, then turning more north/northwest. Erin should move north of Puerto Rico over the weekend, then turn more north to the east of Florida next week. The long-range forecast remains especially subject to at least some change.
