(AP) -Tropical Storm Dorian is nearing the Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands as it continues on a path that could take it to the southeastern United States.
The storm’s maximum sustained winds Wednesday morning were near 60 mph. The U.S. National Hurricane Center says Dorian is expected to be near hurricane strength when it approaches Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
The storm is centered about 60 miles southeast of St. Croix and moving northwest near 13 mph.
Tropical Storm Erin, meanwhile, is posing no threat to land as it churns off the U.S. eastern seaboard. Forecasters expect it to weaken by Thursday.
