Hurricane Erin Discussion Number 25
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL AL052025
1100 AM AST Sun Aug 17 2025
Erin's eye is no longer evident on satellite imagery and
observations from the Air Force Hurricane Hunters indicate that the
maximum winds are near 110 kt. The central pressure has risen a bit
this morning. This slight decrease in intensity is probably due to
an eyewall replacement in the inner core as reported by the
Hurricane Hunters and is likely a temporary short-term fluctuation.
The system remains a well-organized and dangerous major hurricane
with a impressively symmetric cloud pattern. Upper-level outflow is
strong over all quadrants of the system.
