Tropical Storm Ernesto is intensifying as it brings heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas to the northern Caribbean. The storm is expected to affect the US and British Virgin Islands, Vieques, and Culebra, with hurricane watches issued for these areas. Ernesto is forecast to pass near or over Puerto Rico on Wednesday, potentially becoming a hurricane in the process. The storm is currently moving through the Leeward Islands with maximum winds of around 40 mph, and is expected to impact the US Virgin Islands on Tuesday evening.
Models indicate Ernesto could be near or at hurricane strength in about 24 hours.
Heavy rainfall may result in locally considerable flash flooding and mudslides.
