A hurricane hunter plane investigating the disturbance this morning could not detect a closed center of circulation at the surface.
As of Monday morning;
- Coordinates: 13.9N 57.2W
- Location: About 250 miles East of Martinique in the Lesser Antilles
- Pressure (MSLP): 1009 mb or 29.80 in
- Sustained wind speed : 29 mph
A strong tropical cyclone could develop at anytime that could pack a punch making its way northeast towards the islands, through Puerto Rico, and finally impacting the Bahamas.
Even if this low does turn into a tropical cyclone, it will dump plenty of rain across the islands leading to flash flooding dangers. Above are the potential rainfall totals for US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
NWS Puerto Rico says they could start feeling some gusty winds and rain by Tuesday.
Everyone in the path of this system should monitor it closely including the Bahamas and Florida.
