The centre of Tropical Storm Maria at 11:00pm last night was located near latitude 13.3 north and longitude 54.0 west, or about 430 miles east of the Eastern Caribbean. It was moving west (275 degrees) near 21 miles per hour and this general motion was expected to continue, with a turn toward the west-northwest Friday and the northwest Saturday. Maximum sustained winds were near 40 miles per hour with higher gusts and of tropical storm force outward up to 175 miles from the centre. Maria was forecast to weaken to a Tropical Depression and pass 140 miles south of St. Maarten as such at 8:00am on Saturday but expected to re-strengthen at some point, so storm warnings are in effect for the local area. The Met Office predicted between 2 and 4 inches of rainfall and possible local flooding in low lying areas between Saturday and Sunday morning, northeast winds of 40 to 50 miles per hour with perhaps a few gusts of up to 55 and gradually shifting southeast, as well as rough seas that will slowly subside on Sunday.
