Tropical Storm Forming with Life-Threatening Flooding...

A tropical Storm is forming in the Caribbean, and that will bring life-threatening flooding. Extreme rain amounts will move close to Puerto Rico, The Dominican Republic and Haiti. Over 300 mm of rain, or 12 inches, will be LIKELY IN SPOTS.

I can't stress enough: Where this rain goes, the flooding will be extreme with flash floods, impassable rivers, and mudslides. I am still fine-tuning where this ends up, but The Dominican Republic is the most likely location. A little shift to the east would bring intense flooding to Puerto Rico, and a shift to the west would bring it to Haiti. PLEASE STAY AWARE! I'll continue to fine-tune this forecast for you. I am highly concerned about the amount of rain this system has. Please make preparations for this flooding!

There will be gusty winds, and this could become a tropical storm Monday or Tuesday. Regardless, the rain is the MAJOR threat with this.

Down the road, this could get close to the Turks & Caicos, and even Bermuda.

GULF: The area in the Gulf of Mexico will bring rain to South Texas. Some development is possible before this rolls on shore.

HILARY: The worst weather moves in this afternoon and tonight for Southern California, Nevada, and Western Arizona. Western Mexico continues to deal with hurricane conditions. I am thinking of you all!
