Tropical Storm Erin continues to move westward across the Atlantic as it is expected to become a hurricane in a couple of days, the National Hurricane Center said.

The National Hurricane Center is tracking three systems in the Atlantic basin, including a new one moving into the Gulf.

Tropical Storm Erin is moving west through the Atlantic Ocean and is expected to strengthen into the first hurricane of this season. In fact, the storm could reach major hurricane status by late this weekend.
