MIAMI.- The National Hurricane Center issued its latest bulleting on Tropical Storm Erika, located at 16.5N Latitude, 59.5 W Longitude, around 400 miles east of the Leeward Islands, moving west-northwest at 15 kilometers per hour, which places its projected track closer to scraping the country’s northeast coast.
“Disorganized Erika approaching the Leeward Islands…a little weaker. A tropical storm warning is in effect for Antigua, Barbuda, Montserrat, St Kitts & Nevis, Anguill, St Maarten Saba and St Eustatius,” the NHC said.
Locally, the National Meteorology Office said Erika is expected to affect the Dominican Northeast on Friday.
