GREENVILLE, S.C. —

Tropical Storm Erin has formed.

The storm is in the far eastern Atlantic near the Cape Verde Islands.

(Video above was produced before the storm became a tropical storm- will update ASAP)

The National Hurricane Center said it will initiate advisories on the storm starting later Monday morning.

Forecast trends suggest it will remain over open waters for at least the next seven days.

Many computer models show a recurve to the north, but the European model continues to show a close brush by the East Coast.

We will continue to watch the model trends closely, but there is nothing to worry about right now.
