Tropical Storm Dolly has formed and interests in the Leeward Islands are being urged to monitor its progress.
The National Hurricane Centre says Dolly currently has maximum sustained winds near 65 km/h, with higher gusts.
Little change in strength is expected during the next 48 hours and Dolly is forecast to degenerate into a tropical wave before it reaches the Leeward Islands.
Despite this, the NHC says heavy rain could begin to affect the Leeward Islands late Saturday into Sunday, and the Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Hispaniola by Sunday and Monday.
At this time, there are no watches or warnings in place.
As for T&T, the Met Service says Dolly is not expected to pose a direct threat as it is projected to move north-westward over the coming days.
