FOX 26 Houston on MSNHouston weather: FOX 26 Storm Alert for Friday afternoon; tropical wave moves toward Caribbean
There is a Fox 26 Storm Alert in place for Friday afternoon due to expected scattered and heavy storms between 2-9p.m.
While Erin is expected to take a northward turn in the Atlantic, a new system off the coast of Africa has the National Hurricane Center's attention.
Over the weekend, Erin is expected to rapidly intensify all the way to a Category 3 hurricane. By Monday, as the storm steers away from the Caribbean and toward Bermuda, it's now forecast to hit Category 4 with 130 mph sustained winds. Some long-term computer models suggest it could get even stronger and hit Category 5 in the open ocean.
