Tropical Storm Ernesto has formed in the Atlantic and is racing through the Caribbean islands and toward Puerto Rico with heavy rainfall, gusty winds and dangerous seas as a predicted hyperactive hurricane season ramps up
The center of the storm is moving through the eastern Caribbean’s Leeward Islands Tuesday morning, the National Hurricane Center reported, with maximum winds around 40 mph. The storm was racing west at 20 mph, forecasters at the center said.
The fast-moving system is bringing tropical storm conditions – including potentially damaging winds and heavy rainfall – to the Leeward Islands Tuesday morning. Those conditions will spread across the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico by Tuesday evening.
Early track forecasts suggest Ernesto will not follow Debby’s continental US-bound path, and will instead curve north and intensify into a hurricane over very warm ocean water, potentially placing Bermuda in harm’s way, instead.
