Impending Tropical Storm Conditions as Hurricane Tammy Approaches Bermuda

Hurricane Tammy, currently a Category 1 storm, is expected to weaken and become a post-tropical cyclone by Thursday. It is projected to move towards Bermuda, potentially bringing tropical storm conditions to the island this weekend. The storm has already impacted the northeastern Caribbean islands with hurricane-force winds and heavy rain. Large waves and life-threatening surf are expected to affect portions of the Leeward Islands, the U.S. and British Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. Hurricane Tammy made landfall on Barbuda with maximum sustained winds of 85 mph before heading northwestward away from the islands.
