Hurricane Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, could bring dangerous rip currents to Maryland’s Eastern Shore next week while most likely remaining offshore.

Erin has become a Category 3 hurricane in the Caribbean, with expectations to strengthen further on Saturday, according to the National Hurricane Center

Hurricane Erin has quickly intensified into a Category 3 major hurricane as it moves through the Atlantic. Satellite images show Erin has developed a small eye and a well-organized inner core — signs of a strong and powerful storm.
