DISCUSSION AND OUTLOOK
----------------------
At 1100 PM AST (0300 UTC), the center of Tropical Storm Dorian was
located by an Air Force Reserve Unit Hurricane Hunter aircraft near
latitude 13.2 North, longitude 59.7 West.  Dorian is moving toward
the west-northwest near 13 mph (20 km/h) and this motion is expected
to continue through Tuesday night, followed by a turn toward the
northwest on Wednesday.  On the forecast track, the center of Dorian
is expected to move near or over the Windward Islands tonight and
move into the eastern Caribbean Sea on Tuesday.  Dorian is forecast
to pass near or south of Puerto Rico on Wednesday, move near or over
eastern Hispaniola, and move north of Hispaniola on Thursday.

Maximum sustained winds are near 50 mph (85 km/h) with higher gusts.
Some strengthening is forecast during the next 48 hours, and Dorian
is expected to be a hurricane when it moves near Puerto Rico and
eastern Hispaniola.

Tropical-storm-force winds extend outward up to 45 miles (75 km)
from the center.  A wind gust to 55 mph (89 km/h) was recently
reported in Barbados.

The estimated minimum central pressure is 1003 mb (29.62 inches).


HAZARDS AFFECTING LAND
----------------------
Rainfall: Dorian is expected to produce total rain accumulations of
3 to 8 inches in the Windward Islands from Martinique south to St.
Vincent, including Barbados.  Isolated maximum totals of 10 inches
are possible across the northern Windward Islands.  Rainfall totals
of 1 to 3 inches are expected from the Grenadines, south to Grenada
and across Dominica.  Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with maximum
totals of 6 inches are possible across Puerto Rico and St. Croix.

WIND:  Tropical storm conditions are likely in the tropical storm
warning area through Tuesday morning.  Tropical storm conditions are
possible within the tropical storm watch area in the Lesser Antilles
through Tuesday morning, and in Puerto Rico on Wednesday.

SURF:  Swells generated by Dorian will begin affecting portions of
the Lesser Antilles tonight and continue into Tuesday. These
swells could cause life-threatening surf and rip current
conditions. Please consult products from your local weather office.
