Tropical Storm Number Eight formed this morning over the central Caribbean Sea, south of Hispaniola.
At 7.00 a.m. the centre of Tropical Depression Number Eight was located near latitude 19.8 degrees North and longitude 57.9 degrees West, or about 575 kilometres east- northeast of the northern Leeward Islands.
The Depression is moving toward the west- northwest at nearly 8 km/h and a turn to the northwest is expected later today. On the track the Depression will be passing well north of the Leeward Island during the next 24 hours.
Maximum sustained winds are near 55 km/h, with higher gusts. The Depression has the potential to become a Tropical storm later today or Friday.
