CARIBBEAN-US-STORM-METEOROLOGY
This July 8, 2013 NASA Aqua satellite image shows Tropical Storm Chantal off the coast of Brazil. Chantal barrelled toward the Lesser Antilles islands in the Caribbean Sea on Tuesday on its way to the Dominican Republic and Haiti, the US National Hurricane Center reported. As of 0600 GMT on July 9, Chantal was located about 250 kilometers (155 miles) east of Barbados packing maximum sustained winds of 85 kilometers (50 miles) per hour, the NHC said. The storm is moving in a northwesterly direction at 43 kilometers per hour (26 mph). Chantal's center will sweep through the Lesser Antilles later Tuesday morning and into the eastern Caribbean, and approach the Dominican Republic on Wednesday, the hurricane center said. Besides Puerto Rico and the southern coast of the Dominican Republic, 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. Chantal is expected to strengthen during the next 48 hours.
