Tropical Storm Erika developed overnight and currently has winds of 40 mph with gusts to 50 mph. Erika is expected to strengthen into the second hurricane of the 2015 Atlantic season by Saturday and will likely be a threat to the Bahamas on Sunday. As of now it looks like Erika could possibly make landfall on the U.S. east coast sometime between Sunday and Tuesday, but it is to far out to be sure and to know exactly where the storm could affect. The hurricane models are all pretty much in agreeance with developing this storm and putting it in the area just off the coast of Miami sometime Sunday. Since this is still 5-7 days away we will have a better idea of what this storm will do in the next couple of days as the storm approaches.
