Tropical Storm Erin became the first Atlantic hurricane of the year Friday and could reach major status by Sunday. Forecasts say tropical storm-force winds may affect the Northern Leeward Islands, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico this weekend, though most models show the storm curving east of the U.S. Erin is the fifth named storm of an expectedly active season with six to 10 hurricanes forecast, up to half of them major.
