Tropical Storm Emily has been dropping drenching rain over the Dominican Republic and Haiti today (August 4). The storm grew out of a disturbance over the central tropical Atlantic. Movement is to the west-northwest at five miles per hour with winds at 50 MPH and a central pressure of 1004 milibars, or 29.65 inches of mercury.
The storm is expected to move to a northwest track, then curve more northward in coming days. This track will take the storm between eastern Cuba and the Dominican Republic, then skirt the western Bahamas, brush against the east coast of Florida in the vicinity of Miami on Saturday, then move northward before curving again to the northeast early next week.
This track could also take the storm over the Outer Banks, or over Bermuda.
