Highlights

• Tropical Storm Erika is currently about 285 miles east of Antigua.
• Tropical storm warnings have been expanded as far west as Puerto Rico, including the Virgin Islands and most of the northern Leeward Islands.
• Erika is expected to remain a tropical storm with little change in strength the next few days as it moves quickly to the west-northwest.
• The northern Leeward Islands may feel tropical storm-force winds by late Wednesday night into early Thursday.
• Erika will then bring more rain to drought-suffering Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and tropical storm-force winds Thursday and Thursday night.
• Erika’s future track and intensity beyond Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands is highly uncertain, and may involve a track near the Bahamas this weekend and possibly parts of the Florida peninsula early next week.
