Predictions are that tropical storm Emily can develop into a hurricane and hit St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG), Barbados, St. Lucia, Grenada and Tobago by late Wednesday afternoon. 

The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Response (CDERA) released a statement at 5 p.m. Tuesday, that the tropical storm had not intensified in the past six hours,  but there was a possibility that it would intensify overnight Tuesday.

“As a result of the increased forward movement at 20 mph, Emily will impact Barbados, and Tobago around midday Wednesday and then continue to Grenada, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Saint Lucia,” the release stated. Releases are issued every six hours.
