ORLANDO, Fla. — Hurricane Erin remains a powerful Category 5 major hurricane Saturday evening as it moves just north of northern Lesser Antilles. The 5 pm advisory from the National Hurricane Center now has Erin with winds of 160 mph, making it a Category 5 major hurricane.

Hurricane Erin has strengthened to a dangerous Category 5 storm, but remains on track to just send dangerous surf and rip currents to the Jersey Shore.

The August weather might seem ideal for a beach trip, but Hurricane Erin will bring widespread danger in coming days.
