TRACKING THE TROPICS | Forecasters say Tropical Storm Earl formed east of the Northern Leeward Islands late Friday.
– Forecasters say Tropical Storm Earl formed east of the Northern Leeward Islands late Friday and is threatening heavy rains and gusty squalls in the region.
The U.S. National Hurricane Center in Miami said Earl was headed generally west-northwest on a course expected to take it near or just north of the Northern Leeward Islands on Saturday. By 11 p.m. EDT Friday, the storm was centered about 185 miles east of the Northern Leeward Islands and had top sustained winds of 40 mph . Forecasters said some slight strengthening was possible in the next few days.
The center said Earl was first expected to initially spread heavy rains over the Leeward Islands, and then also Puerto Rico and the British and U.S. Virgin Islands as it was forecast to move north of those other islands Saturday night and early Sunday. It said some rivers and streams could rise rapidly in Puerto Rico, raising the threat of flash flooding, and there was a threat of gusty squalls along the storm's path.Copyright 2022 The Associated Press.
