Barbados met office recorded sustained winds of 75 mph gusting to 87 mph, with a barometric pressure of 995 mb early this morning. This storm is wasting no time as she races west-northwest at 28 mph as it enters the eastern Caribbean sea. Her eyes are set for the southeastern United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hurricane Elsa must thread the eye of a needle to avoid any land interaction as she approaches the islands of Hispaniola, Cuba, and Jamaica in the next 48 hours. If land interaction is kept at a minimum, Florida could potentially be looking at some action early next week as this storm is expected to slow down and strengthen as it enters the warm waters of the Gulf.&nbsp; Clarity in the projected forecast is expected in the next 72 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Please consult the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.nhc.noaa.gov\/\">National Hurricane Weather Center<\/a> and your local weather office for the best information for where you are.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"897\" height=\"736\" src=\"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/134722_5day_cone_with_line_and_wind-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-49480\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/134722_5day_cone_with_line_and_wind-1.png 897w, https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/134722_5day_cone_with_line_and_wind-1-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/thelehighacresgazette.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/07\/134722_5day_cone_with_line_and_wind-1-768x630.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 897px) 100vw, 897px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;ELSA STRENGTHENS TO A HURRICANE&#8230; Written by Omar Gonzalez Hurricane Elsa has formed over Barbados, becoming the first hurricane of this season.
