CARIBBEAN-US-STORM-METEOROLOGY
This July 8, 2013 NASA GOES Project handout satellite image shows Tropical Storm Chantal as it approaches Barbados. Chantal, the third named storm of the 2013 hurricane season which formed in the Atlantic overnight, headed towards the Caribbean Sea on Monday, the US National Hurricane Center reported. At 0900 GMT Chantal was located about 1,130 kilometers (705 miles) east of Barbados packing maximum sustained winds of 65 kilometers (40 miles) per hour, the NHC said. The storm is moving in a northwesterly direction at 43 kilometers per hour. If it continues on its current path it will reach southern Puerto Rico and the island of Hispaniola -- shared by the Dominican Republic and Haiti -- on Wednesday or Thursday, according to the NHC forecast. Tropical storm warnings are in effect for the French islands of Martinique and Guadeloupe, as well as for Barbados, Dominica and Santa Lucia, the NHC said.
