A weakening Hurricane Erin is moving closer towards Bermuda as weather officials are keeping an eye on the two weather patterns that could affect the region over the next seven days.
The Miami-based National Hurricane Center (NHC) said that Erin is an estimated 555 miles west south west of Bermuda with maximum sustained winds of 100 miles per hour (mph).
A Tropical Storm Watch is in effect for Bermuda and the NHC said Erin is moving towards the north-northwest near 13 mph.
“A turn toward the north and north-northeast is expected today (Wednesday) and tonight, followed by a faster motion toward the northeast and east-northeast by Thursday and Friday. On the forecast track, the center of Erin will move over the western Atlantic between the United States east coast and Bermuda today through early Friday, and then pass south of Atlantic Canada Friday and Saturday,” the NHC said.
