Hurricane Erin is bringing heavy rain to the U.S. Virgin Islands on Saturday as the Category 5 storm moves through the Caribbean

Watch a live tracker of Hurricane Erin as it moves through the northeast Caribbean. The first Atlantic hurricane of the year is not expected to hit land.

Erin is the first hurricane to develop over the Atlantic this year, and meteorologists are closely tracking its path and forecast.

Hurricane Erin formed Friday in the Atlantic Ocean on track to bring heavy rains that could lead to flooding and landslides in Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands, forecasters said.

The U.S. could see the landfall of its first hurricane this year in the coming weeks, as Tropical Storm Erin continues to build in the Atlantic. Current projections see the storm developing into a hurricane sometime in the next few days as it moves west across the ocean,
