Residents of Barbuda are urged to complete all storm preparations immediately and be ready for tropical storm conditions later today.
Meanwhile, a Tropical Storm Watch remains in effect for Antigua and the rest of the Leeward Islands. Forecasters warn that tropical storm conditions could still extend farther south than currently anticipated, and residents should continue to monitor updates closely and finalize safety measures.
The Antigua and Barbuda Meteorological Service will issue further advisories as new information becomes available.
