Hurricane Elsa is swiftly moving through the eastern Caribbean toward Hispaniola, Jamaica and Cuba. For the latest, tune to The Weather Channel and click here:
Elsa is expected to bring heavy rain and damaging winds to the Greater Antilles.Hurricane Elsa is now barrelling through the Caribbean toward the Greater Antilles, then potentially toward Florida. Residents of the Caribbean and Florida should track the progress of Elsa closely through the holiday weekend.
A tropical storm warning is now in effect for St. Vincent and the Grenadines, St. Lucia and Martinique where tropical storm force conditions are ongoing. A tropical storm watch is also in effect for portions of the Leeward Islands. Elsa will then move across the central and western Caribbean on Sunday and Monday, interacting with Jamaica and Cuba.
That's because there are some important forecast factors yet to come into focus once this system tracks into the Caribbean that will influence its future. Another large uncertainty is when and how sharp the system is expected to reach the edge of the Bermuda High that is shoving Elsa westward. When Elsa reaches that edge, it will make a northwestward turn at some point later this weekend and early next week. A faster forward speed in the near-term will mean that this turn will also turn earlier.
