Hurricane Erin is set to sweep by Puerto Rico this weekend, bringing with it high winds and heavy rains. Luckily, it’s not set to make landfall, but the close call could still pose problems for the island’s increasingly fragile power grid.

Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to strengthen into a hurricane on Friday as it tracks north of the Caribbean and intensifies into a major Category 3 storm. Here’s the latest forecast.

Tropical Storm Erin became the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic hurricane season, and was expected to soak the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico with heavy rain on Friday night.
