Here's a quick, easy-to-read look on the latest about Hurricane Erin, including what Florida residents should know.

Erin, which became a Category 5 hurricane Saturday morning in the eastern tropical Atlantic Ocean, but has now weakened to a Category 2.

Hurricane Erin was a Category 4 storm Monday morning and is expected to retain major hurricane status through the middle of the week.

The Category 2 hurricane saw its winds weaken to as low as 100 mph on Aug. 19 as its north side battled winds, but the National Hurricane Center said early on Aug. 20 that the storm had reformed an inner eye wall, and a Hurricane Hunter mission this morning is expected to help the center determine if winds have increased in response.

After rapidly intensifying into a Category 5 storm on Saturday, Hurricane Erin has since been downgraded to a Category 4 system with sustained winds of 130 mph. However, it is expected to intensify and grow in size over the next few days.

Hurricane Erin is expected to bring large waves, rough surf and life-threatening rip currents from Florida to Canada

The International Space Station flew 260 miles over the hurricane as it moved northwest through the Caribbean.

Hurricane watchers are eying systems in the Atlantic basin. One has a medium chance of developing later this week.
