Leeward Islands

The Leeward Islands, a group of islands in the northeastern Caribbean Sea, are currently in the path of Tropical Storm Dolly. As of Friday morning, Dolly was moving rapidly across the Atlantic Ocean with maximum sustained winds of approximately 40 mph. The National Hurricane Center has indicated that the storm is expected to bring significant rainfall to parts of the Caribbean, including the Leeward Islands, over the weekend. The formation of Tropical Storm Dolly on Thursday marks it as a current weather concern for the region. Its trajectory and potential for heavy rain make the Leeward Islands newsworthy as they brace for the impact of this developing tropical system.
