A tropical storm that is triggered in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Africa could become the first hurricane of the Atlantic of the 2025 season.
Federal forecasters expect Tropical storm ErinCurrently located around 820 miles west of Cape Verde, to strengthen in the coming days and say that it could become a hurricane by late Thursday.
At least eight people were killed on the island of Cap-Verde de Sao Vicente after serious storms, Reuters reported Tuesday. The president of Cape Verde Jose Maria Pereira Neves said in a Facebook publication On Monday, the heavy rains had caused deaths and material damage on the island.
The National Hurricane Center said that the storm would cross the ocean hot water and develop in force as it quickly slides west towards the Caribbean, finally slowing down and making a progressive turn from the West West.
The tropical storm Erin currently has sustained maximum winds of 45 miles per hour, with tropical winds storm extending from its center up to 35 miles.
The NHC warned that the probability had increased so that the storm is closer to Puerto Rico, the virgin islands and the northern islands in the wind, but the forecasters say that it is still too early to know what the effects might be. Erin can also have an impact on parts of the east coast of the United States, Bermuda, Bahamas and Large Antilles next week, added the NHC.
Earlier this year, the national ocean and atmospheric administration predicts a season of the Hurricane of the Atlantic greater than the average With somewhere between 13 and 19, the storms between June 1 and November 30.
The NOAA said that there were a number of factors facilitating the formation of tropical storms this year, such as warmer ocean temperatures and the shear of the low wind.
