(TheWeatherSpace.com) -- In what could be Tropical Storm or Hurricane Emily will impact Puerto Rico on Wednesday into Thursday.

The system is just south-southeast of the island as a tropical wave, growing into a tropical storm over the next 24 hours or so.

Shear in the area is low enough to promote rapid development as it moves through Puerto Rico and it is possible that it will be a Tropical Storm or even a Hurricane.

Where it goes from there will develop on the trough exiting the United States. Latest thinking is the trough will scoop it up just east of Florida and curve it back out to sea, of course this will put Bermuda Island at risk for heavy rain and high winds next week as it does so.
