A tropical depression in the Atlantic is forecast to become a hurricane by Wednesday
The center of Tropical Depression Three is a little over 1,400 miles east of the Windward Islands, with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph as it tracks west at 21 mph, the National Hurricane Center announced late Monday morning. “Environmental conditions appear conducive for strengthening over the next few days, with a much warmer than normal ocean in the depression’s path, along with plentiful mid-level moisture and light shear,” the center said.
Everyone in the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands should “closely monitor updates to the forecast” and “have their hurricane plan in place,” the hurricane center tweeted Monday morning. The storm is forecast to bring “a risk of flooding from heavy rainfall, hurricane-force winds, and dangerous storm surge and waves” as it moves across the Lesser Antilles on Thursday and Friday as a hurricane, it said.
