Dominica and the British Virgin Islands have been issued with a a tropical storm watch, which means that “tropical storm conditions are possible within the watch area, generally within 48 hours,” according to the center.

That heavy rain could trigger dangerous flooding and mudslides this weekend into early next week, particularly over mountainous terrain,” Weather.com said.

In Antigua and Barbuda, the VC Bird International Airport has closed ahead of the tropical storm’s wrath.
