By Rishabh Jaiswal, Preetika Parashuraman and Rajveer Pardesi (Reuters) -Erin, the first hurricane of the 2025 Atlantic season, has been downgraded to Category 3, the U.S. National Hurricane Center said early on Sunday,

With maximum wind speeds back down to 125 mph, Erin remains a Category 3 storm, but is expected to strengthen again in the next few days. NHC said the storm is getting bigger, with hurricane-force winds extending 25 miles from the center and tropical storm-force winds extending up to 205 miles.

Hurricane Erin continues to churn in the Atlantic as it looks to swing north and away from the U.S. coastline. It is now a Category 4 storm with maximum sustained winds of 130 mph. This is the first hurricane of the 2025 season in the Atlantic, according to the National Hurricane Center.
