As of this morning, Tropical Storm Emily has maximum sustained winds at near 40 miles per hour. It is anticipated that its center will move across the northeastern Caribbean Sea today and approach the island of Hispaniola as early as tonight.
Emily is projected to head towards Cuba, the Bahamas, and possibly Florida.
Current conditions suggest that Tropical Storm Emily could intensify and strengthened over the course of the next 48 hours. It is not anticipated to approach Florida until the weekend, but by the time does it could be as strong as a hurricane.
Emily Could Strengthen to a Category 1 Hurricane
Forecasters are predicting that Tropical Storm Emily could grow into a Category 1 hurricane, with winds of at least 74 miles per hour according to the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.
A category 1 hurricane is defined as having sustained winds between 74-95 mph. It is a dangerous storm and its winds will produce damage.
