Tropical Storm Dorian is the fourth named storm of the 2019 Atlantic Hurricane Season, but it's too soon to predict the possible implications it could have for the U.S. mainland.
As Tropical Storm Dorian makes its way across the ocean toward land, the National Hurricane Center continues to track its path to identify its destination and ensure residents are prepared.
Tropical storm warnings were also in place for Barbados, St. Lucia and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. During a tropical storm warning, tropical storm conditions are expected somewhere within the warning area within 36 hours. Tropical Storm Dorian is expected to strengthen and possible turn into a hurricane as it passes through the Windward Islands and heads toward Puerto Rico.As of Monday morning, Dorian was moving west-northwest at around 14 miles per hour. The motion was expected to continue through Tuesday night, followed by a northwest turn on Wednesday. As of the advisory's release, the storm was about 135 miles from Barbados and 245 miles from St. Lucia.
When it passes through the northern Windward Island on Tuesday, it could be near hurricane strength, brining rainfall from three to eight inches to affected areas. The storm could also cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions in portions of the Lesser Antilles.Two years after Hurricane Maria decimated Puerto Rico, several people questioned whether the storm would hit the island.
