Tropical Storm Dorian Struggling in the Atlantic
Tropical Storm Dorian is fighting to maintain itself as a tropical cyclone. Dorian, the fourth named Atlantic storm of the season, formed over the far eastern Atlantic Ocean southwest of the Cape Verde Islands early Wednesday morning.
Dorian will continue tracking west or west-northwest over the next few days on the south side of the Bermuda-Azores high, and will remain over open waters through the remainder of the weekend.
Dorian looks to slide just north of the northern Leeward Islands, the Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico Sunday night into Monday, and then the Dominican Republic and Haiti Monday night into Tuesday. While missing the "brunt" of Dorian some fringe effects are possible in these areas, such as bands of locally heavy rainfall and areas of high surf/rip currents.
