Besides Erin, we are monitoring two areas of interest in the Atlantic Basin. Both are in the main development region of the Atlantic Ocean. The first has a 60% chance of tropical development over the next 7 days. The latest forecast track keeps this on a similar path as Erin initially, but a little farther to the east once it makes the turn.
