The NOAA said: “On the forecast track, the core of Hurricane Maria will continue to move away from Puerto Rico during the next several hours, and then pass offshore of the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic early today. “Maria should then move near the Turks and Caicos Islands and the southeastern Bahamas tonight and Friday.“A dangerous storm surge accompanied by large and destructive waves will raise water levels by as much as 4 to 6 feet above normal tide levels in the hurricane warning area in the Dominican Republic, and 1 to 3 ft elsewhere along the northern coasts of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.“A dangerous storm surge accompanied by large and destructive waves will raise water levels by as much as 9 to 12 feet above normal tide levels within the hurricane warning area of the southeastern Bahamas and the Turks and Caicos Islands.” Maria is expected to produce the following rainfall totals through Saturday:Puerto Rico...20 to 30 inches, isolated 35 inches.U.S. and British Virgin Islands...additional 3 to 5 inches.Northern and eastern Dominican Republic, Turks and Caicos, and the Southeastern Bahamas...8 to 16 inches, isolated 20 inches.Northern Haiti...2 to 4 inches.Rainfall on these islands will continue to cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.Swells generated by Maria are still affecting the Leeward Islands, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands and are likely to cause life-threatening surf and rip current conditions.These swells are also affecting the northern coast of Hispaniola, the Turks and nCaicos Islands, and should begin in the Southeastern Bahamas during the next day or two.   A Hurricane Warning is in effect for:Dominican Republic from Cabo Engano to Puerto PlataTurks and Caicos Islands and the Southeastern BahamasA Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for:Dominican Republic west of Puerto Plata to the northern border of the Dominican Republic and HaitiDominican Republic west of Cabo Engano to Punta PalenqueA Hurricane Watch is in effect for:Dominican Republic from Isla Saona to Cabo Engano. 00FastNews.
