Latest NHC Advisory Has Dorian Approaching Florida As Tropical Storm

Forecasters said Tropical Storm Dorian was gathering strength Monday while approaching islands in the eastern Caribbean Sea, and could strike Puerto Rico and its neighbors as a minimal hurricane on Tuesday.

The latest advisory has the storm approaching Florida as a tropical storm, but interaction with land can greatly affect the system’s path, so we’ll have a better idea of Florida impacts by mid-week.

The U.S. National Hurricane Center issued tropical storm warnings for Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines. A tropical storm watch was issued for Grenada and Martinique.
