National Hurricane Center, Tropical Storm Erin
Digest more
In addition to Hurricane Erin, the NHC is tracking two other disturbances in the Atlantic that could bring tropical weather. Will either hit Texas?
The center of a tropical disturbance that flared up in the Gulf began to move across land on Friday, bringing heavy rainfall to parts of northeastern Mexico and South Texas.
Invest 98L, the tropical system that emerged near Mexico early Wednesday, Aug. 13, is tracking toward Texas. Will it impact the state?
A new system has emerged in the eastern tropical Atlantic, heading westward toward the Leeward Islands as Hurricane Erin continues to spin.
As the Gulf disturbance nears Texas, tropical moisture will surge Friday and Saturday in the Houston metro area, leading to increasing storm chances.
Though Erin is not currently forecast to make landfall in the U.S., the East Coast could still get heavy rainfall associated with the storm, along with the northern Leeward Islands, the British Virgin Islands and southern and eastern Puerto Rico. Isolated flash flooding, landslides and mudslides are possible.
In the Gulf, Invest 98L could become a short-lived tropical depression before it moves inland over northeastern Mexico or southern Texas this afternoon or evening. Here's the latest advisory from the National Hurricane Center as of 11 a.m., Aug. 15:
