Tropical Storm Dorian Develops In Atlantic Ocean, Could Become A Hurricane by Tuesday
The National Hurricane Center in Miami on Saturday afternoon announced that Tropical Depression number five has strengthened into Tropical Storm Dorian, and it has a path moving westward into the Lesser Antilles. It could become a hurricane within the next three days, but its path is uncertain as it continues to develop.
At 4:42 p.m. ET on Saturday, Tropical Storm Dorian had maximum sustained winds at 40 mph and was moving west at 12 mph. The Saturday afternoon update by NHC stated that Dorian's center was approximately 725 miles east-southeast of Barbados.
The forecast model by the NHC indicates Dorian could reach hurricane strength by Tuesday, and it is projected to pass just south of Puerto Rico sometime between Tuesday and Thursday.
Dorian developed rather quickly on Saturday as it had become Tropical Depression Five in the morning morning. TD 4 is still sitting off the eastern coast of Florida and would become TS or Hurricane Erin if it gains strength.
Should Dorian reach hurricane strength, that means it will have reached maximum sustained winds of at least 75 mph to become a Category 1 storm.

Florida is already saturated from all the rain we've had this summer. This could cause massive flooding.
I hope it stays away from Puerto Rico.
