Digest more
Hurricane Erin weakened to a Category 3 hurricane during the early hours of Aug. 19 as it moves closer to the East Coast, according to the National Hurricane Center.
Hurricane Erin, after strengthening into a Category 5 storm early Saturday, weakened to Category 3 by Sunday morning and has taken a track slightly more south than originally forecast, the National Hurricane Center said.
Hurricane Erin has weakened but is still a powerful Category 3 storm with max sustained winds of 115 mph and moving northwest at 7 mph.
Well, while the Met Office's outlook doesn't suggest Hurricane Erin will give Scotland too much of a battering as of yet, reps have confirmed that while the storm "is not forecast to make direct landfall in the UK," it "may be picked up by the jet stream and move towards northwest Scotland by next Tuesday or Wednesday (August 26 and 27)."
