Tropical Storm Erin is west of the Cabo Verde islands with 45 mph winds. The system is forecast to gradually strengthen into a hurricane. FOX Weather Meteorologist Ian Oliver provides the latest forecast information on Erin and FOX Weather Hurricane Specialist Bryan Norcross explains the scenarios we could see for Erin.

Tropical Storm Erin formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Monday, forecasters said. The storm could strengthen to become the Atlantic's first hurricane of the season.

The National Hurricane Center says Tropical Storm Erin is making its way west across the Atlantic Ocean – but with the storm still thousands of miles from the U.S. coast, FOX 13 meteorologists say it's still too soon to pinpoint its eventual path.
