St. Lucia was under a hurricane watch, meaning hurricane conditions were possible there within the next 24 hours.
Meanwhile, tropical storm warnings had been put into effect for Barbados, Martinique and St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and tropical storm watches were issued for Grenada and Dominica.

Forecasters expected it to pass near or south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday, and approach eastern Hispaniola Wednesday night.
By the weekend, southeastern Florida could feel some of the effects of the lingering tropical system. An updated forecast projection for Tropical Storm Dorian suggests it could be a Category 1 hurricane when it approaches Puerto Rico on Wednesday evening.Dorian was expected to bring heavy rains of up to 10 inches in some areas — something that could be devastating for Puerto Rico.
