HURRICANE ERIN ALERT STATEMENT
ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA METEOROLOGICAL SERVICES
9:02 AM ECT SAT, AUG 16, 2025

This is for the Leeward Islands and the British Virgin Islands

…Hurricane Erin is now out of the monitored area…

At 800 am (1200 UTC), the center of Hurricane Erin was located near latitude 19.6 north, longitude 62.0 west or about 120 miles or 195 km northeast of the Leeward Islands.

While the eye has wobbled westward during the past few hours, Erin is moving generally toward the west-northwest near 20 mph (31 km/h).

This motion is expected to continue through the weekend with a gradual decrease in forward speed. A turn toward the north is expected to occur early next week.

On the forecast track, the center of Erin is expected to move just north of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico over the weekend.

Please note that all tropical storm watches and alerts have been discontinued for the Leeward and British Virgin Islands.
