Tropical Storm Bret chugged toward the eastern Caribbean as forecasters warned it could strengthen into a hurricane
A hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center works on tracking unsettled weather over the eastern Gulf of Mexico on May 31, 2023 in Miami, Florida.SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico — Tropical Storm Bret chugged toward the eastern Caribbean on Tuesday as forecasters warned it could strengthen into a hurricane before approaching a region rushing to prepare itself for an unusually early storm.
The storm is expected to pummel some eastern Caribbean islands on Thursday and Friday at near hurricane strength. Forecasters warned of strong winds, dangerous storm surge and waves, and flooding from heavy rainfall. They urged people in the Lesser Antilles, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands to closely monitor the storm and have their hurricane plans in place.
Vertical shear and drier air are expected to later weaken Bret as it swirls through the central Caribbean region, potentially taking aim at southern Haiti as a tropical storm.
