The storm will remain a major hurricane through the middle of the week, according to the National Hurricane Center.
The NHC said it currently expected Erin to become a Category 4 storm later Saturday but to eventually swerve away from the continental United States.
Hurricane Erin remains a major hurricane as of Sunday morning and is expected to turn north off the East Coast this week.
Hurricane hunters with the NOAA flew through the eye of Hurricane Erin after it rapidly intensified into a rare Category 5 hurricane. Erin is expected to continue to fluctuate in intensity as it undergoes an eyewall replacement cycle.
