• Tropical Storm Erika is currently about 110 miles east of Antigua.
  • The northern Leeward Islands may feel tropical storm-force winds Thursday morning.
  • Tropical storm warnings have been issued as far west as Puerto Rico, including the Virgin Islands and most of the northern Leeward Islands.
  • Erika is expected to remain a tropical storm with little change in strength the next few days as it moves quickly to the west-northwest.
  • The tropical storm will then bring more rain to drought-suffering Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands and tropical storm-force winds later Thursday and Thursday night.
  • Erika’s future track and intensity beyond Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands remains uncertain, and may involve a track near the Bahamas this weekend and possibly parts of the Florida peninsula and the Southeast US coast early next week.
