Severe weather warnings have been issued for Barbados, Dominica, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines as Tropical Storm Chantal approaches.
The tropical storm, which has wind speeds of about 40mph but is expected to strengthen in the next couple of days, was due to hit the Caribbean by early today.
Chantal is then expected to continue to parts of the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Cuba.
The current forecast takes the centre of Chantal over the Bahamas on Friday into early Saturday, but given the margin of error in the forecast, parts of Florida could be affected as well at the end of the week, reports the Weather Channel.
