Erin, currently a Category 3 storm, is expected to grow in size as it moves northwards in the western Atlantic Ocean.
While it is not forecast to make landfall, it is predicted to bring life-threatening currents and waves to the Bahamas, Bermuda, the US East Coast and Canada's Atlantic coast.
A tropical storm warning is in effect for the Turks and Caicos Islands and southeast Bahamas, while on the Outer Banks, a string of islands off the North Carolina coast, a storm surge watch has been declared.
The centre of the storm is predicted to pass to the east of the Bahamas on Tuesday, according to the US-based National Hurricane Center.
