Tropical Storm Erin, now spinning far out in the central Atlantic Ocean, could undergo rapid intensification into a powerful 125-mph hurricane. According to Direct Weather's forecast, ski resorts like Palisades Tahoe and Mammoth Mountain may see less snow than usual.

Tropical Storm Erin is forecast to strengthen into a major hurricane in the coming days. While AccuWeather maintains that the storm will curve back out into the Atlantic Ocean, the potential remains for a direct impact on the East Coast.

Erin formed in the eastern Atlantic Ocean on Monday and is strengthening as it moves westward. The NHC said there is still uncertainty about what impact it could have on states like Florida on the U.S. East Coast, as well as the Bahamas and Bermuda.
