While forecasters are calling Tropical Storm Erika “a very disorganized storm” they are also predicting it could reach hurricane status and strike Florida as early as Sunday.
“I think we’ll have a better idea of where Erika is going and what she is capable of, within the next 24 to 48 hours,because today, Erika has struggled mightily to get its act together,” said FOX 35 News Orlando Meteorologist Brooks Tomlin. “It’s a very disorganized tropical storm right now.”
The storm is expected to dump anywhere from 2 to 8 inches of rain on the Leeward Islands as it continues its western trek. Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands will also be hit by the current path of the storm.
Florida officials are beginning to prepare for the storm’s possible arrival.
“This is the point where you should start planning whether you’re going to evacuate, where you’re going to go, how you’re going to communicate,” Kimberly Prosser, the director of Brevard County Emergency Management, told FoxNews.
Meanwhile in the Pacific, Tropical Storm Ignacio is gaining strength and is also likely to turn into a hurricane. The storm is modeled to pass by Hawaii, although there is a small chance the storm will turn to strike the main island early next week.
