The system is expected to move inland over northeastern Mexico or southern Texas by late Friday, ending its chances of tropical cyclone formation. Formation chance through 48 hours...low...20 percent and formation chance through 7 days...low...20 percent.
Disturbance 2. Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to become a hurricane by Friday. Erin is located about 990 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands and moving west at 17 MPH with 50 MPH maximum sustained winds. There are no coastal watches or warnings in effect.
