Tropical Storm Erin is likely to become Hurricane Erin on Friday as it continues its journey across the Atlantic.

The National Hurricane Center is currently predicting the storm to turn north and curl away from United States east coast without ever making landfall. Spaghetti models, which represent a collection of predicted paths generated by multiple computer models, currently support these predictions.

However, the NHC predicts the storm is likely to bring several inches of rain to Puerto Rico and encourages residents there to monitor Erin's progress.
