Tropical storm Emily has been strengthening as it moves on its northwestern path and pushes its way through the Caribbean. Earlier this morning, Emily was about 265 miles off the coast of Puerto Rico traveling around 17 miles an hour but it is expected to speed up as it moves across the Caribbean Sea today and moves closer towards the Dominican Republic, where there is a tropical storm watch. By evening, it is projected that Emily will make its way to the island of Hispaniola. In the latest advisory by the US National Hurricane Centre, Haiti, the US Virgin Islands, and the islands of St. Kitts, Nevis, Montserrat, and Antigua were also under a tropical storm watch. Emily has yet to be defined as a Category 1 hurricane, the weakest type of hurricane where damage is typically leads to broken windows, destruction of older homes and roofs. Thus far, Emily's maximum winds were up to 40 miles per hour. They should get stronger.

Meteorologists are watching an area in the Atlantic Ocean that is over 600 miles East of the Lesser Antilles.
It continues to get better organized with a 100 percent chance of it becoming a tropical storm.
Long-range models show this system intensifying into a major hurricane and bring it within a few hundred miles of the state of Florida in about eight days, maybe sooner.
If it does develop, it would become Emily, the fifth named storm of the season.
