Tropical Storm Erin is moving across the Atlantic Ocean, and forecasts show it getting stronger.
"Gradual strengthening is forecast over the next several days, and Erin is expected to become a hurricane in the next couple of days," the National Hurricane Center advised.
WWL TV Meteorologist Payton Malone says none of the reliable forecast models have Erin heading into the Gulf.
"No threat to the Gulf," he insisted.
Malone says it doesn't look like any of the United States will have to worry about Erin.
"Models are in agreement that the upper high will weaken and turn the storm northwest to north, possibly avoiding the Islands and move in a direction toward Bermuda, so remaining well east of the East Coast."
The current NHC forecast path shows Erin north of Puerto Rico heading into next week with sustained winds of 115 miles per hour.
