Tropical Weather: Hurricane Erin, other developments - Aug. 17 update

Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic as it passes north of Puerto Rico, Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Tropical storm warnings are now in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands and for the Southeast Bahamas. There are two other areas in the Atlantic with the chance for further development. We are also watching a tropical wave near the west coast of Africa over the next several days. Right now, the national hurricane center is giving it a low 30% chance for development.
