Tropical Storm Bret grew stronger on Wednesday as it moved toward islands in the eastern Caribbean that braced for torrential rainfall, landslides and flooding.
Bret had maximum sustained winds of 60 miles per hour early Wednesday morning and was moving westward across the Atlantic Ocean at 16 m.p.h. , according to the National Hurricane Center in Miami.
"We all know the uncertainty with forecasting intensity, movement and impact of weather systems," Fitzroy Pascal at Dominica's office of disaster management said. The government of Guadeloupe warned that inclement weather would start Thursday morning and continue until late Friday, with waves of up to 11 feet .Bret is expected to weaken after it enters the eastern Caribbean Sea and is forecast to become a tropical wave soon after that.
