MIAMI — With Hurricane Danny growing to a Category 3 storm Friday and headed toward Caribbean islands gripped by drought, emergency officials started preparing for the possibility of flash floods and mudslides.
On Friday, Danny’s winds strengthened to 115 mph as it moved westward more than 800 miles east of the Leeward Islands. National Hurricane Center forecasters expect Danny will weaken over the next two days and arrive in the Lesser Antilles on Monday as a tropical storm.
Forecast tracks show Danny continuing to weaken by the time it reaches Puerto Rico on Tuesday, and Haiti and the Dominican Republic by Wednesday.
