Tropical Storm Erin is tracking west over the open Atlantic Ocean on Tuesday and forecasters expect it to become the first hurricane of the Atlantic season this week.

Erin could potentially strengthen to sustain wind speeds of over 115 miles per hour in the next four days, making it a Category Three hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson scale and the first major hurricane of the Atlantic season.
